"Can You Sink an Orange?"
from kids science experiments

In this experiment it asks if can sink an orange. In this experiment the independent variable is the orange peel while the dependent variable is if the orange will sink or not. The conclusion to this experiment is that an orange can only sink if the peel is off because the peel traps air pockets which causes the density to be lowered in the orange. In my opinion this is a good experiment because it shows how density can make a difference in weight. I think that this experiment could be improved by testing different types of fruit or test different kinds of liquids.
