Titanic Orange |
This quick and easy science "trick" is fun and interesting and uses materials you may already have around your home. |
Suggested Materials: |
* 1 x orange with skin still on |
Suggested Instructions: |
Step 1: At home, fill your plastic jug or container with water. Add your orange with the skin still on and watch how it floats. Then take it out of the water. |
|
Step 2: Put your skinless orange into the water and watch it sink straight to the bottom. |
|
Step 3: Now put your continuous string of orange peel into the water and watch it float. Amazing! It is the skin on the orange which keeps it afloat. |
|
Step 4: Practice this science "trick" a few times at home before trying it at school, if necessary. |
|
Step 5: At school, repeat Step 1 to Step 3. Ask your teacher for help if needed. |
