These are 2 great activities to teach and reinforce the concepts of floating and sinking. The first lesson discusses whether solid objects can float or sink and the second lesson discusses whether liquids can float on not. This ties in with the concept that the oil in a shark's liver gives it buoyancy so it
Sink or Float? Magnetic or Non-Magnetic? Use these basic experiment task cards and recording sheets as a follow up to a these two basic science demonstrations. After teaching the children the vocabulary of sink, float, magnetic - print and laminate the cards. Place the cards on a tray with the objects for the child to explore independently or with a small group. Students can record their findings on the basic T-Chart sheets. Great for Primary and Lower Elementary students!

Density identifies substances. Several activities are given that students can engage in. Comparisons are made between densities of things that can float in water whose density is 1 g/ml or 1kg/L. An object will float if its density is less than the liquid it floats in. Iron floats in mercury. Surface te
