Sustainability - Look At What We Have Got

As part of our Integrated Studies unit students have been learning about fair tests and variables as they conduct simple experiments. Our experiment was to see if an orange would sink or float. We created hypothesises before conducting the experiment. The results were in. An orange will float with the skin on, however when peeled it will sink. The students conducted the experiment again, this time peeling one eighth of the orange skin at a time to see how much orange skin is required for the orange to float.
