P7AS Dead Sea Float Experiment

5th Feb 2025

As part of our Unsinkable theme, we are exploring floating and sinking.  We completed some research on the Dead Sea for homework and discussed our findings. We then came up with some ideas as to how to prove that objects float better in salty water than in non-salty water. 

We designed a fair test using containers, water, salt and an egg.  Can you guess how we used the equipment to prove our learning?
