Scientific Method Lab- Sink or Float? (Tap and Salt Water)
In this activity, the students will follow the steps of the scientific method to discover if objects are more likely to float in salt water or tap water. It will show them how scientists record data on charts and draw conclusions. It is able to be edited, so you can change the materials to be ones that you have or wish to use.

Will it Float or Sink? An Experiment (Editable!)
This science experiment is an easy activity for students to practice the scientific skills of predicting and classifying while learning about buoyancy. Students will make predictions, learn new vocabulary, and classify objects based on whether they float or sink. I've left the objects blank so that you can use anything that you have on hand. At the end of the activity students predict whether a peeled or unpeeled orange will float or sink. I hope your students enjoy practicing the skills needed

How Many Seeds Are in a Pumpkin? Scientific Investigation
I designed this scientific investigation for my third graders this year. In groups of 3 or 4, students will make a hypothesis about the number of seeds in their pumpkin, measure the circumference, weight, height, and whether it sinks or floats (data section), record the properties of their pumpkin (color, texture, shape), and then finally cut open the pumpkin and count the number of seeds. To help with management during the measuring process, there is also a pumpkin design page that groups can w
