Floating in salt water

 
In Science we did an experiment about putting salt in water and seeing if a piece of crayon would float. We also tried it in drinking water to see if it would float or sink.
 
 
cup of water- we put the salt in the water


In the salt water the crayon floated, because there was a lot of salt in it. The salt made the water dense.
 


The crayon sank in drinking water because there was no salt to hold it up.
We've been studying that the ocean is salty.

  1. Did you know that YOU can float in water if there is enough salt in it? Just like the Great Salt Lake! It feels really weird though!
