How to make it

about 20 minutesmedium

  1. Colour in the pictures and cut the cards apart along the dashed lines.
  2. What happens if you put it in a tub of water? Does it float on top, or sink to the bottom? Put each card in the right box.
  3. Not sure? Try it out together with a tub of water and real things (don't put a coin or nail in your mouth!).
  4. Check together with the answer sheet. All correct? Then glue the cards down.
