Question

You think that something about the regular drink must have made it sink, while something about the diet drink made it float. Write down at least two possible explanations for the events.

Answer 1

Answer:

Are you ready for a ‘Does It Float?” science experiment? We have done experiments with Floating Eggs, and Sinking Oranges, now we are going to experiment with pop cans (or soda cans depending on what part of the world you live in)!

Grab your supplies and try this experiment with us. Just be sure all your cans are the same shape, size and volume (12 FL OZ or 355 mL), and that you have a variety of different types of pop including regular and diet. The experiment is a simple yet effective density experiment that will take only about 5 minutes to perform.

Let’s find out which ones will float in water and which ones will sink!
