# Will it float or sink? What do you think?

  ![Image of Will it float or sink?

We explored floating and sinking together in the water tray. We made predictions, tested out the objects in the water and described our observations!

We built our own boats using a variety of materials and tested these out in the water. We found ways to sink them and create a shipwreck!
