Sink or Float

I bought a $1 book from the dollar bins at Target and it was about Reptiles - Snakes, crocs & lizards. As we were reading this book there was a section about Basalik lizards and how they can run on water. Julian thought that was a hoot and asked to see videos of how they do that (which I love that he asked that on his own). While we were watching the video he came up with the idea of testing things that would sink or float.
It became a whirlwind and before I knew HE had set up everything for this experiment (except the water and the labels).

I asked him to predict what would float and what would sink. Then after we talked about why certain things float / sink.
