Children in a year one class, exploring flotation, all predicted that a Sponge fish would float, because of its lightness, but Elli said the Sponge fish would Sink because 'It always does in the bath'. When the Sponge fish floated all the children thought that Elli's prediction had been wrong, but they had to adjust their ideas as the investigation progressed. They watched as the Sponge fish was squeezed, the air bubbles coming from it as the air was replaced with water, making it heavier and sink¬ing. The children spent some time watching the Sponge fish float, then they filled it with water several times in order to make it sink. This conflicted with their original ideas, caused them to doubt their exist¬ing ideas and to reflect on their new experience.Adult may be kept captive for a day or two, but should then be liberated.
