Density
Suitable for
All Ages
Theme
Physics
Level
Beginner
Why do some things float and other things sink? Sabah is here to help us investigate density on #GSCAtHome with some simple kitchen demos you can try at home.
To follow along at home and try for yourself, you will need two glass tumblers, tap water, an egg, salt (around 6 tablespoonfuls), an orange and some kitchen roll or towel for any spills. It's best to do this experiment on a flat surface, like a table.
The density demos are ideal for ages 3 and over to explore. Make sure you have some adult permission and help. View on YouTube.
