Sink or Float? The Ice Block Science Experiment

A large frozen ice cube is on a table with some small toys frozen in it, including a pom pom, bell, beads, toy bugs.

Get your child thinking about why some things float and some sink with this easy activity that freezes toys into an ice block. Your child can observe which items stick out on top of the ice, and which items get frozen on the bottom.
