Sink or Float Activity Worksheet Sink the Boat
A fun hands-on activity where students add mass to aluminum foil or clay boats until they sink. The science behind the observations are clearly described in terms of mass, volume, and density. There is a STEM element to this activity as students build their simple boats. Will the boats sink or float? A data is provided for students to write their hypothesis and record their results. The lesson also gives suggestions for running STEM inquiry activities that could be run in further classes. This h

What is Life?
This activity introduces students to the basic concept of life. For this activity I pour mountain dew into a beaker, then drop in about 10 dried raisins. To start off the activity I ask the students to observe what is in the beaker and determine if they are living or non-living. Due to the carbonation in the soda, the raisins will float up and down in the beaker as if they are moving! The students will create a hypothesis stating if the objects are living or non-living. We will then talk ab
