I have a general outline of how I'm going to conduct the experiment now. It's not very detailed and I haven't got the specifics figured out though. Hope it's good enough for the moment.
Aim: To investigate whether the buoyancy of an object is affected by the salinity of the water in which it is placed.
Hypothesis: That an object will be more buoyant in water with a higher degree of salinity.
Equipment: container with measurements marked across, measuring cups and spoons, floating object, water, salt
Method:
1. Measure a certain amount of water and pour it into container.
2. Place object in container and wait until it stabilises.
3. Determine the distance between the bottom of the container and the bottom of the object.
4. Repeat previous steps several times, adding an extra tablespoon of salt each time.

Connie, you need to make sure that your discussion and introduction is in enough depth to actually cover the topic appropriately. You got a "maybe" for your approval because of this as I am worried about the depth of your experiment...
