Sink or Float

"Sink or Float" is an activity that I've seen around the internets too many times to count. It is also an activity that doesn't need much of an explanation and something I have been wanting to do with Amelia for a long time now. It would be better as an outdoor activity, but indoor works too.

Its funny that this is been in the back of my mind for at least 6 months and the day that I decided to do it was also the day that Jason was fixing the shower in our bathroom. You know, the same day that he turned off the water and then left to go to Home Depot for like an hour--right after I said to Amelia, "Let's play a new game called Sink or Float!".

But, she is a resourceful girl and was patient enough to let the trickling water left in the pipes fill up a small bucket. We gathered items around the house and predicted whether we thought they would sink or float. Then, we tested our hypothesis and put the object in the correct column. So simple, but popular nonetheless!
