Science experiments for children – Sink or float The game is to prepare a table of prediction “sinks or floats” and a table of the results obtained, to compare.
Then prepares a plastic container big enough and possibly transparent full of water, and proceed by immersing the various objects.
Depending on the age of the children can be given explanations scientific of the experiment.
Discuss the results and ask the children their interpretation of the facts experimented is always very important, and it can also be very funny.
