Looking for an easy science activity? Today I’m excited to share this sink or float free printable. It’s fun one that is great for all ages. It can be a quick activity or if you’re looking for something to keep them busy this summer, you can add lots of items to “test”. There are 2 versions you can download and print for free. One has some suggested items to try out and one is blank. For the blank one you can have the kids gather a bunch of items they want to test out and write them down themselves. For little ones that can’t write yet, have them draw the object.

This is a great activity for inside or outdoors and one of the most simple science projects I can think of. It’s also great for all ages because little ones will get a kick out of items floating or sinking to the bottom and for older kids, you can explain a little more about why thinks sink vs float and have them try out some harder to guess items. It’s also a great introduction to “making predictions” in science.
