  • Ask the children if they think the object will sink and float.
  • Place the object in the water and see what happens.
  • If it floats ask the children why?
    The answer: The object has air inside and therefore floats to the top.
  • If it sinks ask the children why?
    The answer: The air is filled up with water and therefore sinks to the bottom.
