Sink or Swim?

Please ensure you have a safe space when engaging with these activities at home. Active adult supervision is advised at all times.

 

Hey kids! Can you guess which of these 16 objects around the house will sink, and which will swim?

See if you can figure out which items will sink to the bottom of the pool, and which would float to the top.

You can test our answers at home too! All you need is a big bowl full of water and each item you can find around the house. For some extra fun, see what other objects around your home sink or swim.
