Description of slide: Current slide shows a chart with "apples", "oranges" and "bananas" across the top and "float or sink" and "other observations" down the vertical first column. This chart shows whether a fruit floats or sinks in water (relative density). Directly beneath apples and oranges is the word "float" and beneath bananas is the word "sink".
