About Float or Sink?
A duck waits for things that float and an anchor for things that sink. One picture at a time, your child decides where a leaf, a key, a balloon or a brick should go. Some answers may surprise, since an apple and an ice cube both float.
How to play
- Look at the picture and guess: will it float or sink?
- Drag it down to the duck or the anchor, or tap your choice.
- On a keyboard, press 1 or 2, or the left and right arrows.
