Floating
Orange Experiment
- Vase – Water – 2 oranges or clementines
Materials Needed:
Fill the vase 3/4 full of water and drop an orange with the peel on into the water. Predict if it will float or sink.
Step 1
Next remove the orange and drop in a peeled orange. Predict if it will float or sink.
Step 2
Finally add the unpeeled orange. Think about why one floats and one sinks.
Step 3
Air trapped inside the porous skin of the orange causes it to float while the peeled orange sinks.
