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.

Surface Tension with Adhesion and Cohesion
Cohesion (attraction force) between like molecules creates Surface Tension which allows some objects to rest on the surface of a liquid rather than floating. Adhesion is the attraction between unlike particles and explains many henomena like blood flow and tree water transport.p71pgs/16 made in class videos

Density Challenge - guided
Students learn how to calculate the density of some solids and liquids by going through the whole process, not just doing the math. After observing the concept of sink or float and how that relates to density, students use liquid and small solid samples, measure the mass and volume to determine numeric density, and then try it out to check their work. **This longer document walks students through each step, without a lot of choice on the part of the student.

Density Lab
Three separate labs are included in this download.
The first one requires students to measure the mass and volume of different objects, calculate their density, create hypotheses as to if they will float when placed in water, make observations and draw conclusions.
The second one examines regular vs. diet soda densities.
The third one has students look at granite vs. basalt and make conclusions about the continental and oceanic crusts.

Density Experiment for Younger Grades
Density experiment simplified for the earlier grades. It's simple but reviews the scientific process and basic concepts of density and buoyancy. It can be an enriching/follow-up experiment after sink and float and matter unit. Materials are easy to find and posters help with the presentation. I used it for my son's at home experiment that he needed to present in school. Posters were used as note cards.

How Many Seeds Are in a Pumpkin? Scientific Investigation
I designed this scientific investigation for my third graders this year. In groups of 3 or 4, students will make a hypothesis about the number of seeds in their pumpkin, measure the circumference, weight, height, and whether it sinks or floats (data section), record the properties of their pumpkin (color, texture, shape), and then finally cut open the pumpkin and count the number of seeds. To help with management during the measuring process, there is also a pumpkin design page that groups can w
