Changing an Objects Shape to Change Density: Scientific Method, Float or Sink?
In this inquiry challenge and experiment, students try to change somethings shape in order to change its density (whether it sinks or floats).
Students observe what shapes float better and which are more likely to sink.
Great, Fun Quick Inquiry activity!

Sink or Float Prediction Sheet
Using our sensory table, or a small tote, filled with water, we made predictions about what items would sink and which would float. After predictions were made, we tried the items out in the sensory table and discussed why certain items didn't behave as we expected (floated when we thought they'd sink, remained semi-submerged, or floated when we thought they'd sink). We moved what we'd predicted to what actually happened then glued them down with glue-sticks.

Does it Sink or Float Worksheet-Freebie!
Can be used in a "does it sink or float" experiment where the students predict whether an object will float or sink and then test the object in the experiment and record what happened. There is also an area for students write a description as to why they think some of the objects float and some sink.

Boats That Float - Density | Theme: Oceans | Scripted Afterschool Activity
Compare salt water with fresh water and teach students about density with this scripted, Oceans themed activity. This lesson includes a student worksheet where students can record their observations and answer questions to reinforce their understanding of density and what happened during the experiment.
Scripted lessons make it easy for new teachers or group leaders to teach without extensive training. Most required materials are common household items, common school items, or easy to find art

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

The Show Must Float On | The Zula Patrol
In the Show Must Float On, it’s time for the annual Ballet of the Water Striders, a beautiful water-top dance to celebrate the coming of Spring. But during rehearsals the water striders can’t keep themselves on top of the water! Enter the Zula Patrol, who test the lake water and find out that an unwelcome substance is making it impossible for the water molecules to form their natural elastic layer. The Zula Patrol race to find the source of the pollution so that the water ballet can go on.

The Oobleck Experiment
Students explore solids and liquids using OOBLECK! This flipchart is designed to give a review of solids and liquids. Then students will get a chance to be hands on with a non-newtonian fluild to see what will sink and what will float! The Big Bang Theory also makes an appearance! This flip chart includes a printable to have students review what they learned. It also serves as an assessment for teachers.

The Truder Crown Affair | The Zula Patrol
In the Truder Crown Affair, Princess Marina invites The Zula Patrol to the Zulean Isles to enjoy her coronation, but when her crown is taken, the Zula Patrol are back on the job. Wizzy and Wigg find a crown but discover the crown they’ve retrieved floats instead of sinking like the genuine article. The Zula Patrol will have to get the real crown back from Dark Truder before he becomes king of the isles and Marina’s hopes sink like her crown should.

Density Wave
In this simple experiment, students will observe how different liquids have different densities. The Science lingo: What is density? You may have learned the equation Density = Mass/ Volume. Density is a measure of how much mass an object has compared to its volume. High density objects feel heavy, like rocks. Low density objects feel light., like feathers. We compare density of liquids and gases. For example, oil and water have different densities. This is why oil will float on the water. Thi

Energy Inquiry Lab: How does the surface affect a ball's bounce?
Explore energy transfers and transformations! Students will plan an investigation to compare how different surfaces affect a ping pong ball's bounce. Some surfaces may really surprise you and your students, as you investigate how the kinetic/mechanical energy of the ball is transferred to the surface (causing the surface to move) or the energy is transformed to different levels of noise (sound energy)! The goal is for students to explain how the ball loses energy to the surface or as noise to ju
