(Humming) ♪ Do try this at home ♪ Let's see what Nick and Sally are doing at home today.
It's fun to test different things to see if they float or sink.
So, we got a bunch of stuff to try out.
See?
I've got an idea.
Let me be the in-water judge to officially tell you whether they sink or float.
First up is my truck.
Wait.
What do you think?
Will it float?
Or will it sink?
Umm, maybe it will float.
How about you, Sally?
I think it will sink.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
I'll get into position.
♪ Well, that sunk.
What's next?
I have a tin pie plate.
I think it will float.
It looks a little like a boat.
So, I say float.
What do you think?
Let's try it out.
You were both right!
It floats!
Oh, how clever you are!
Testing things out is lots of fun.
You know, you can find things in your home and see if they float.
Just make sure there's a grownup around.
