Take a big transparent container and fill it with water up to half. Now take objects like pebbles, small toys, clay ball, shells, etc. One by one, drop the objects in the water filled container and make your child observe whether an object sinks or floats. What happens in the activity?It might happen that your child will demand an explanation for this. Do not shush them away instead feed their curiosity. Heavier objects tend to sink and lighter objects tend to float. You can try other things too:Items that sink – Metal utensils, coins, stones, keys, gemstones, marblesItems that float - Lego stick, popsicle stick, foam shapes, crayons, rubber ball Happy Gaming!

Sink or Float

Things you will need: transparent and deep container (bowl or a box), stones or your child's toys How to:This is a very simple activity demonstrating how the thirsty crow was able to drink water from a pot with very little water. <ol><li>Take a transparent container which is deep. Prefer to not use the glass container as it poses the risk of being broken and someone might get hurt.</li><li>Fill 1/4th of this container with water.</li><li>Start adding the stones/toys one by one and see the water level rising.</li><li>You can also opt to narrate the thirsty crow story with this activity. This will peak your child's interest.</li></ol> Note: Explain to them why the water rises to the top after adding the stones/toys. As the stones or toys are denser, they sink in water. (Refer to our 'Sink or Float' activity in the app to have a better idea. We would suggest you to carry out that activity before taking up this one).When the stones sink, they displace water and occupy that space. Hence, the water rises up. Happy Gaming!

Significance:This will enhance your child's understanding about floating/sinking of things in water.
