We liked this experiment. We thought the candle would float on top of the water. Both of us knew the rock would sink. We think we would like to try a Hershey bar or an ice cube. ...Kelly & Austin

Josh & Jacob thought it was cool when the rock sank and the candle floated because we didn’t know what would happen. It was a fun experiment. Josh thought the candle would sink and Jacob didn’t know.

I thought this experiment was fun. I did not think that the candle would sink. I learned a lot about volume and mass. It was cool. …Bryce & Jacob M.

Our rock is all underwater. Our candle had most of it under water and a little on the surface. It was an interesting project. I like to do projects. ...Rebecca & Amy

My partner and I liked doing this. My partner and I knew the candle would float. We also knew the rock would sink.

My starting volume was 50 Ml. After I put in the rock it was 53 Ml. My rock sank to the bottom. …Kaylan

Science is da bom. …Parker & Curtis

P.S. We like Mr. Neph as a teacher!

I noticed that when I dropped in the rock it made the water go higher. …Joe

I noticed that the water level went up when I added the rock. …Brandon B.

Scientists measure with graduated cylinders with liters on the side. They use cubic measures too. …Brittany

We thought this experiment did not last long enough. We like to do lots of experiments. …Miranda & Chris

I learned that candles float more to the top than the middle. I did know the rock would sink. …Elizabeth

I noticed the candle is mostly submerged. I noticed that the rock was heavier. I also noticed that the candle had more volume. …Emily C.B.

I thought the wax was going to sink, but it floated. I thought the rock was going to sink and it did. …Emalee & Sarah
