Sink or Float?

We did this activity during our nightly bath.
I brought items we don't normally have in the tub. I talked to Westley about the difference between something that sinks and floats, and then we guessed if it would sink or float in the water.
I was even surprised by a few things
Items that floated: Feather, sponge, tupperware container, water bottle- even if it had some water in it,
Items that sunk: plastic spoon (after a minute of floating) metal spoon, duck mat, seashell (as long as it was not turned upside down).
I wasn't sure if Westley would be into this activity but he asked for me to get more items, so I have a feeling he'll request to do this again another night.
