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

Temperature and Density Lab- Sinking and Floating of Water
NGSS Expectation:MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes the changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. This lab has students making observations of what happens to the density of water as the temperature of the water is changed. They will observe the movement of warm and of cold water in a beaker full of room temperature water. They should make connections to the previous lab that looked at how temperature (avera

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 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

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.

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 ( <

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

Testing the Scientific Method Lab Activity (Great for back to School)
A lab activity that enables students to identify and use all parts of the scientific method as they examine whether grapes will float in water and soda.
I did this with my 7th grade class, but the critical thinking skills for that group were not present and the activity did not go well. I would recommend it for no lower than 8th grade.
