Ms Becky's class- the great Squidly experiment!

This afternoon we all sat down to do a science experiment about floating and sinking. We talked about things that float, like balloons and bits of foam. We talked about things that sink like rocks and shells. Then we had a look at Squidly and had a guess- will he float or sink? We took turns at making a hypothesis,  and it was a pretty even spread between float and sink. A few friends even guessed that he would bob around in the middle! Next it was time to put Squidly in the bottle and test our hypotheses- what a result! At first Squidly floated at the top, then he began to sink lower and lower until he slowly reached the bottom. When we shake the bottle he spins and swirls with the bubbles, its very funny to watch! We love doing experiments at school- what will we discover next?
