Sink or Float
SUPER FUN sink or float activity guides. Lesson plan includes a prediction worksheet and a sorting guide. Depending on the age range, students can make their own predictions on the prediction worksheet or teachers can help students mark their predictions about objects before experimenting. The sorting guide is great for students to sort objects based on if they floated or they sunk.

How Many Pennies Can Your Boat Float?
A simple lab in buoyancy for 2nd or 3rd graders. Simple materials. Easy to set up, with extensions for extra work. It's best used as a cooperative project, but it could also be an independent research study. The questions lead the students to analyze why their boats act the way they do. An answer key is included. As a head's-up, prepare for a fair amount of spillage in this lab! It will definitely engage your learners.

Christian Skits for Actors and/or Puppets Skit 2: Whatever Floats Your Boat
In a series of ten lessons, Christian Skits address science from the standpoint of Christian values. Did God really tell Noah to build an ark? Yes, he did. Could it really float and did all the animals fit in the ark? Yes, and with room left over. Dr. Rubenstein, or “Dr. R.” as he is known to young Joey, shares the science behind the ark. The skits can be presented with live actors such as the children themselves, child and parent, child and teacher/tutor, or puppets. There are only two par

Lesson Plan Science All About Sink and Float.
Simple steps to meeting the Sink and Float Lesson Objectives. First proceed with the Whole Class Lecture Discussion with the Class students. Next allow for small groups to perform the Sink and Float Experiment. Each student notes down the observations and activity in their own individual composition book. Finally hand out the document sheet to each student to work at an individual level and note down their own individualized learning about the sink and float concept. Allow students the opportun

Buoyancy/Sink or Float
Independent study or small group work for 2nd or 3rd graders. Using some simple equipment, students predict and test, investigating buoyancy. It's fun and engages children for the entire activity. It's also messy, but clean-up is not complicated!

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.

Sink or Float Density Lab
Help students understand that density isn't determined by mass or weight alone! DID YOU KNOW SOME BOWLING BALLS FLOAT? Fill a clear bin with water and test various items and watch your students be amazed! Students will first make a prediction for each item whether they think it will sink or float. Test each item and record the results. Finally, students will choose an item of their own to test. Reflection questions included. Items you'll want: a penny, golf ball, marble, bowling ball ( <

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

Density Test Lab Sheet
This worksheet is designed for primary-age scientists as young as 1st grade. It was designed to go with the age-old density test experiment that involves putting three liquids in a beaker (Karo syrup, water, vegetable oil), then dropping objects in. Depending on the density of the object compared to the density of the liquids, the objects will either float or sink into the various strata created by the liquids.
This graphic helps students with little or no writing skills to document and recor

Dancing Raisins Science Experiment
This is a worksheet that goes along with our Dancing Raisins science experiment (discrepant event). Made for a 1st grade ESOL group, but could be used with any young elementary class. Here's the experiment:
"To do this experiment, you need ginger ale (or another clear-ish soda), raisins, and a tall clear container. Pour the ginger ale into the container and ask the kids for their hypothesis. Do they think the raisins will sink or float? When you drop the raisins in, they will sink at first
