Float or Sink

Today we talked about the Scientific Method. The students asked the question: Will an Oreo float or sink? Eight kids thought it would float, 10 said an Oreo will sink. Our plan: place the Oreo in a dish of water. Our conclusion: Oreos SINK. The Oreo began to float, but soon took a dive to the bottom of the dish.

How long will it take for an Oreo to completely saturate? We made predictions, but we are still watching the Oreos waiting for an answer.
