- Did the water, salt water and oil behave the same way as Janet’s did?
- Did the liquid you chose yourself perform how you expected?
- Can you think of any other substances where the solid state would float on top of the liquid state, like water?
- Why do you think the ice floated, while the frozen oil did not?
Remember, science is often about collaboration – did other learners have broadly similar or vastly different results? Why do you think that might have been?
