Making a paper clip float

Floating paper clip                                                                                    Sunken paper clip 

Today my class and I did a science experiment called making a paper clip float.The experiment for me was a huge success because mine and my partners worked.It floated like it was a meant too so I was absolutely happy and over the top. 😁

We needed 

Clean dry paper clip

Tissue paper

A beaker with water 

Pencil

What to do

1. Filled a beaker of water.
2. Try to make the paper clip float.
3. Tear a piece of tissue paper about half the size of a CARR card.
4. GENTLY drop the tissue flat onto the surface of the water.
5. GENTLY place a dry paper clip flat onto the tissue (try not to touch the water or the tissue).
6. Use the eraser end of the pencil to carefully poke the tissue (not the paper clip) until the tissue sinks. With some luck, the tissue will sink and leave the paper clip floating.!
