Predict whether each object will sink or float in this educational worksheet.

Let’s think about each object and whether it will sink or float in water.

1. Egg – A raw egg usually sinks in plain water because it’s denser than water. (Unless you add salt, but we’re assuming plain water here.) → Sink

2. Pencil – Most pencils are made of wood and have a graphite core. Wood floats! Even with the eraser and metal band, it still usually floats. → Float

3. Spoon – Metal spoons are heavy for their size — they’re denser than water. → Sink

4. Blue ball (looks like a beach ball or plastic ball) – These are usually hollow and filled with air. Air makes things float. → Float

5. Rock – Rocks are heavy and dense. They always sink in water. → Sink

6. Coin (gold-colored with $ sign) – Coins are made of metal and are very dense. They sink. → Sink

Now let’s double-check:
- Egg: sink ✔
- Pencil: float ✔
- Spoon: sink ✔
- Ball: float ✔
- Rock: sink ✔
- Coin: sink ✔

All look correct based on everyday experience.

Final Answer:
Object | Sink | Float
---|---|---
Egg | ✓ |
Pencil | | ✓
Spoon | ✓ |
Ball | | ✓
Rock | ✓ |
Coin | ✓ |
