We are working on subjects and predicates in grammar. I decided that we could spend some of the time in the hall identifying subjects and predicates. Can you identify the subject and predicate in each video?

Floating and Sinking Investigate 1
For our first experiment of the year, we brought five objects from home to test to see if they would float or sink. Here is Tristan explaining what he thinks his objects will do.
Here is video of Tristan doing the experiment. He puts each object in the water to see if it will float or sink.
What happened to your five objects, did they float or sink? Write what your objects are and what happened to them.
