- Observation Skills
- Analytical Thinking
- Application Skills
- Communication Skills
📊 Learning Outcomes
- Floating depends on density.
- Lemon sinks in plain water and floats in salt water.
- Buoyant force helps objects float.
- Applied in ships and sea water.

📝 Worksheet (Who Am I - MCQ)
🧠 Higher Order Thinking Questions
1. If sugar is added instead of salt?
Yes, but less effective because sugar increases density less.
2. If lemon is very small?
It will sink.
3. Why float more in sea water?
Sea water has higher density, so buoyant force is more.
4. Can experiment compare densities?
Yes, by observing floating differences.
