Splash in the Tub

Float or Sink? illustration 1: Spike, Suzy and Little ThunderFloat or Sink? illustration 2: Spike, Suzy and Little Thunder

Suzy fills a big tub with water. "Will it float or sink?"

Spike drops in a leaf. It floats on top!

Little Thunder drops in a rock. Plop! It sinks to the bottom.

A duck feather floats. A key sinks.

Then Suzy takes a lump of clay. Plop! It sinks.

She squishes the clay into a little boat shape. She puts it on the water.

It floats! "Hooray!" cheers Little Thunder. "A boat for a ladybird!"
