Floating Fruit Lab

Today we practiced using the scientific method with the floating fruit lab.  Many students were surprised which fruits floated and which ones did not.  Ask your child why the apple, orange, grapefruit, banana, pear, and tomato floated and why the lime and seedless grape did not.
