Pumpkin Sink/Float Activity

We did a sink or float activity with different fruits/vegetables. We guessed whether each item would sink or float first and then tossed them into a bucket of water.

First was a squash:













The squash floated!

Next, we tried a carrot:














The carrot sank!

Third, we threw in an apple:














The apple floated!


The fourth thing we tried was an eggplant:














The eggplant floated!

The next thing was a banana:












The banana floated!


We also used a potato:














The potato sank!


Last, we used a pumpkin in our activity:
Most of us thought the pumpkin would sink, but it floated!

  1. Yay! This looks like fun. Eva came home and quizzed us all on whether a large pumpkin would float... She was disappointed we all got it right ;-) Thanks Miss McQuown!!!
