Sink or Float

For Christmas Isabelle received a new magazine just for kids her age from Aunt Penny. She was so excited to get something in the mail just for herself and just loved the magazine. There were so many great ideas for projects and things to do that we just did not know where to start. So of course we had to read the whole thing in one day. The part that really excited her was the page on water, and the things you can do with it. With that in mind we did a little science experiment to see what toys we had that would float and what would sink.

I had Isabelle go around her playroom and pick out some toys. Then we went up stairs and filled up the sink with water and put them in one by one. I had my own thoughts about what would sink and what would float. The one item that sunk that surprised me was the waffle ball, it went right down. She had so much fun playing this game, and now knows a few items that will sink and float.
