Salt water density

Yesterday, we had fun doing an experiment with fresh and saltwater and seeing what kind of water makes things float best. We discovered that when we added salt to water it made it denser and therefore our carrots all floated. We had some brilliant discussions around what the representations were showing us and what understandings we could draw from them. This was a really fun experiment with lots of valuable learning about pour oceans. We even talked about the amount of salt in the dead sea and realised why the 'Dead Sea' got its name.
