Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: FUN Sink Or Float Experiment + Worksheet (FREE PRINTABLE)
The task shown in the image is a “Sink or Float?” science activity. The goal is to predict whether each object will sink or float when placed in water, then test it and record the result.

Since the user did not select any of the options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, GeneratePractice), we are only to provide the Final Answer — which means we must interpret what the user is asking for.

Looking at the image, there’s a grid of 9 objects:

Row 1: Rock, Spoon, Apple
Row 2: Block (wood), Water Bottle, Pear
Row 3: Leaf, Rubber Duck, Beach Ball

And on the left, there’s a list of 6 items: Button, Pencil, Flower, Crayon, Eraser — but these don’t match the grid. So perhaps the student is meant to use the grid objects for prediction/testing.

But since no specific question was asked (like “What happens to the apple?”), and the options are all false, the most logical interpretation is that the user wants the correct predictions for the 9 objects in the grid — as if solving the worksheet.

Let’s go object by object and predict based on common knowledge:

1. Rock → Sinks (dense, heavy for its size)
2. Spoon → Sinks (metal, dense)
3. Apple → Floats (less dense than water, has air pockets)
4. Wooden Block → Floats (wood is less dense than water)
5. Water Bottle (empty?) → Floats (if empty, air inside makes it buoyant; if full, might sink — but typically in such worksheets, it’s assumed empty unless stated)
→ Let’s assume it’s an empty plastic bottle → Floats
6. Pear → Floats (similar to apple, fruit with air spaces)
7. Leaf → Floats (light, flat, traps air)
8. Rubber Duck → Floats (designed to float, hollow)
9. Beach Ball → Floats (filled with air, very buoyant)

So the predictions would be:

- Rock: Sink
- Spoon: Sink
- Apple: Float
- Block: Float
- Water Bottle: Float
- Pear: Float
- Leaf: Float
- Rubber Duck: Float
- Beach Ball: Float

This matches typical classroom expectations for this activity.

Final Answer:
Rock: Sink, Spoon: Sink, Apple: Float, Block: Float, Water Bottle: Float, Pear: Float, Leaf: Float, Rubber Duck: Float, Beach Ball: Float
