Floating and sinking in Year 3/4
20th Feb 2026
This week the pupils in Mr. Campbell’s class, were learning about floating and sinking as part of their topic work. We predicted if an item would float or sink. Some of the items sank and some of them floated. The last item we used was an orange, but it was very unusual as it floated with its peel still on but sank when it was peeled. Do you know why?
