Sink or float?

Does it sink? Does it float?

This is a fun one you can try in the garden, in the kitchen (if you're brave!) in the bath!

Here are some ideas for investigating sinking and floating

Fruit
Beach ball or inflated balloon
Flowers or leaves
Empty plastic bottles
Full plastic bottles
A sock (it'll float but then sink as it absorbs the water. Unless it really smells then it might just float away)
The soap! it'll probably sink and you should definitely get an award if you can pick it up first time!
Anything and everything that you don't mind getting wet!
