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

Solid Vs. Liquid Experiment Packet (1st Grade)
This beginner experiment explores what substances float, ad which ones sink. It defines the words liquid and solid. There are two pages for the students to complete with predictions and results. This is a lower level experiment and does not require that much writing. Students draw smiley faces and frowns based on their predictions and results. There is also a supply list and an answer key!

Dancing Raisins Lab- Submarines and Density
In this fun lab, students discover how submarines can change their density to both sink and float. Using raisins and club soda as a model, see how the change in the amount of air attached to an object can change it's density (more air bubbles cause it be be more buoyant and float- when the air is released, it sinks back down).

Ocean Layering: Salinity & Density Lab
This lab is great to use when teaching about ocean water masses and currents. Students will make colored layers in their beakers to show how water of different densities don't automatically mix, and instead float on one another. I recommend students working in pairs for this activity, as this will allow them to have plenty of hands-on time. Materials needed are: · 1 – 250ml beaker / group · 4 – 25ml beakers or small plastic cups / group (1 for red, 1 for blue, 1 for clear salty, 1 for green

DENSITY GAME SHOW ACTIVITY
This activity is very versatile and can be used as a warm, quiz, or group lab. I use it as a introduction to density and my density lab unit. You play a game show host of sink or float. you have ten items and you ask your players (students either individual or groups of three) will this object sink or float. They then write a hypothesis and after which you test it by dropping it in a large see through container of water. I like to play it up and really have fun with the game show aspect of

This lesson begins with students listing 5 similarities and 5 differences between a can of regular coke and a can of diet coke (or Pepsi). You actually need the cans. Then ask them to predict which can will sink and which will float when placed in a tub of water, or a fish tank, or a very large beaker. Have an envelope of a fake sweetener such as Splenda, equal, etc. and a pre-measured portion of sugar (think about 38 g) so you can show them why the diet soda didn't sink but the regular soda did

Earth's Layers Lab-eggs/density
How is the Earth like a hard boiled egg? This lab allows kids to discover this concept as well as have a healthy snack! They will drop the egg into water, watch it sink, then add salt to the water, thereby making it more dense than the egg, and then watch the egg float! This helps them to understand density and specifically how it relates to convection currents in the mantle. They then take the egg apart and we discuss the various layers and how they mimic the Earth. Super fun and some goo
