Primary Five have been investigating items that float and sink.

We found that a paperclip when placed in water will sink but something as a big as a boat can float.  We decided to investigate why this happens.

We took a ball of plastisine and placed it on the water and found that it sank.

Next we took the plasticine and rolled it flat.  When we placed it on the water we were surprised to see it float.
