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

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.

Float My Boat
Description
How does the shape and size of a boat affect the amount of cargo it can carry? In the inquiry lab, students will build simple boats to float gram blocks in a shallow pan of water. In this lesson students will start with the same raw materials and come up with a wide variety of results in the use of density and the displacement of water.

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 ( <

Surface Tension with Adhesion and Cohesion
Cohesion (attraction force) between like molecules creates Surface Tension which allows some objects to rest on the surface of a liquid rather than floating. Adhesion is the attraction between unlike particles and explains many henomena like blood flow and tree water transport.p71pgs/16 made in class videos

Film Canister Submarine - Density Lab - Buoyancy & Density STEM Challenge
In this hands-on STEM challenge, students design and test a film canister “submarine” that sinks as slowly as possible. By exploring the relationship between mass, volume, and density, students will learn why some objects float, sink, or hover in water. This activity is perfect for middle school physical science or as an NGSS-aligned enrichment lesson on density and buoyancy. Students love the challenge aspect, and teachers love the ready-to-use directions, data tables, and answer keys! Wh

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
