How do I use these activities?

In this fun activity, your child will learn about the concept of buoyancy, and explore which objects float and which ones sink. They will use their observation skills to make predictions and record their findings. This activity is a great way to introduce your child to the basics of science, and encourage them to think critically.

This resource is aligned with the National Curriculum of England for Science, and is suitable for children in Year One.
