A complete step by step experiment to guide learners through an investigation into floating and sinking. Packet has two experiments and a design and make element. Includes every activity that is needed and explores prediction, instruction writing, design, testing, collecting data, interpreting data and working scientifically.

Activities in this 16 page science packet for kids aged 4-7, include:
