🌱 About Seeds and Water

Did you know? Some seeds float in water because they are light, hollow inside, or have special shapes that help them stay on top. Other seeds are heavy and sink to the bottom!

Safety Note: Do not taste the seeds or drink the water during this experiment.

1. Make your prediction using this sentence:

"I predict that _____________ seeds will float because _____________."

2. Draw or write about what you think will happen:

🔬 Investigation Results

3. Complete this table during your experiment:

Seed	My Prediction (float/sink)	What Happened? (float/sink)	After 1 Minute (same/changed)
Pumpkin
Sunflower
Bean
Corn

4. Observation questions to help you:

• Does it float?

• Does it sink?

• Does it change after 1 minute?

✏️ Drawing and Conclusion

5. Draw one seed in water. You can add arrows and colour the water:

6. Complete these sentences about what you found:

"I found that _________________________________________________."

"My prediction was _____________ because _________________________."

Teacher Guidance: Results may vary depending on seed freshness, size, and water temperature. Encourage students to record their actual observations rather than expected answers. Pumpkin seeds often float initially, beans typically sink, sunflower seeds may float briefly then sink, and corn usually sinks. Focus on the process of observation and data recording rather than "correct" answers.
