Will an orange float in water? by Digital Leader Alfie in Maple Tree

In this final term we have been learning about forces in science. Our investigation question was "Will an orange float in water?" In this investigation, we had to see if an orange would float in water. Everyone had to make their predictions; most people said it will float and some said it wouldn't. After that, Miss Simber put a container filled with water at the back and then put the orange into the water. To most people's surprise, it floated! Then, we had to write our observations in our books and then we engaged in a discussion on how we could make it sink. Nearly everybody in the class said to peel the orange so that's what we did! After we peeled it, we put it back it the water, and as expected, it sunk to the bottom. Then, we had to write more observations, our method and our conclusion and what we did to make it sink.
