Water Resistance

Following on from air resistance - we looked at water resistance. Testing different plasticine shapes to see if they would float or sink. 

In order to make the test fair we used the same amount of water and the same amount of plasticine.

From our experiment we have learnt - the greater the surface area the slower it was to sink and the thinner the bowl shape the more likely it was to float.
