Sink or Float
SUPER FUN sink or float activity guides. Lesson plan includes a prediction worksheet and a sorting guide. Depending on the age range, students can make their own predictions on the prediction worksheet or teachers can help students mark their predictions about objects before experimenting. The sorting guide is great for students to sort objects based on if they floated or they sunk.

Sink and Float Picture Sort
This is a great picture sort with realistic looking pictures of 8 objects that sink and 8 objects that float. This activity includes labels with pictures for children that cannot read. You can cut out these pictures and laminate them for continued use in the classroom or have students cut these out, sort them, and glue them on paper. This could be used as a class activity, assessment, homework, or center activity.

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
