Sink or Float and Buoyancy
Included in this download is a 2 part lesson plan as well as a task sheet.
In these lessons students will explore the nature of buoyancy by conducting a science experiment. The first part of the lesson is where students will experiment with the idea of sink or float. Students will have the chance to alter the shape/size of items to better help explain the idea of buoyancy. Students will also write a science experiment (hypothesis, aim etc). The second part of this lesson is linked with the idea

Density Worksheet
Students are given 5 items and values for their mass, volume, density, and whether or not they would float in water. One value in each column is incorrect. Students have to calculate if the mass, volume, density, or ability to float in water is incorrect and then give an explanation as to why that value is incorrect and how they could correct it. There are also discussion questions involving water displacement to find the volume of an irregular object and the density of one piece of an item vers

Candy Density Lab
Use candy to explore and learn about density. A common confusion is that density and weight go together. Use this lab to cement the idea that weight doesn't equal density. Students will place different types of candy into a tub or beaker of water and test is they sink or float determining if they are more or less dense than water. This lab includes: Teacher directions, student task card (directions), and student lab sheets in both full page and ready to cut and paste into a science composition
