Apple Sink or Float Experiment
Do apples float? I casually asked my son if he thought an apple would sink or float? He said it will sink and said we should test it.
Why Do Apples Float? An apple is buoyant! Do you know why? The apple has air inside and that air helps keep it from sinking completely. Apples are less dense than water. Learn more about density here.
Make Apple Boats
So now that you know an apple floats, can you build an apple boat to float? Will different-sized apple pieces float as well as others? Make your sails with those toothpicks left over from the apple toothpick activity.
Simple card stock paper sails. Will different shapes and sizes of sails influence how the apple piece floats? Our small apple piece did not match the larger sail we cut for it, but the other large pieces faired well. Simple and creative Apple STEM!

What Is STEM For Kids?
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. It’s not as complicated as it sounds! STEM activities combine these areas to help kids learn in a fun and hands-on way.
Good STEM activities use at least three of these four areas to solve problems, challenge ideas, and build important skills. If your kids love science, they’re already enjoying STEM!
