Floating and Sinking Investigation 🔎 P1SM
17th Oct 2025
Today we explored items that float and sink.
We used the story of The Gingerbread Man and imagined that the Gingerbread Man decided to swim across the river. We each made a prediction as to whether he would float or sink.
Why don't you ask us what happened?
We then worked in groups to explore other objects that he collected as he escaped from the oven!
Following our investigation we recorded our findings and then reported back to the rest of our class.
