Children will develop and learn to:

• Make predictions
• Make observations and chart their findings
• Form a hypothesis (educated guess)

Materials Needed:

• A tub or bowl of water
• Paper
• Marker to record your findings
• Items from around your house to test your hypothesis (oranges vs. watermelon, etc.)

Directions:

1. Fill the tub or a bowl of water.
2. Test each item you have gathered and record each item if it sinks or floats.
3. Make observations and chart your findings on a piece of paper.
