The winner is the teacher's daughter. She watched him test it the night before at home.

Or an older sibling who had this test last year.

I would've never suspected that stirring water would make something that size rise up.

But you see, the key to the trick is that size has nothing to do with it, nor does weight. It's all about relative densities. The orange is almost entirely water, with just enough other stuff in it to make it sink. Even a bowling ball will float in water if it weighs less than 12 lbs.
