Boat Float STEM Sprint – Ocean Buoyancy Engineering | Grade 2
In the Foil Boat Delivery Sprint, students become naval engineers as they design and build an aluminum foil boat capable of carrying the maximum possible cargo payload without sinking. Set inside the Ocean Explorers narrative theme, this focused 1-week sprint challenges Grade 2 students to investigate buoyancy, hull shape, and weight distribution — testing their design, recording load data, and making one evidence-based redesign before their final cargo test. What Students Will Do* Investigate

Sink or Float Montessori Buoyancy Card Sort
Engage your Children’s House class with these Sink & Float card sort can work well individually as well as an addition to other units and can be extended in various ways. Perfect for K (kindergarten), 1st (first) grade, 2nd (second) grade, and 3rd (third) grade. Originally developed for use in a Montessori classroom, but these are ideal for science centers with any K - 3rd grade students. These materials make an excellent springboard for further research. The materials can be used for 3 dif

6.6b Density of different Liquids/ and 25 questions with answer key
Density Column Practice Worksheet | TEKS 6.6D | Google Slides Drag & DropThis resource helps 6th-grade students compare density relative to different fluids using an interactive density column. Students analyze real density values, drag and drop objects into the correct liquid layers, and explain their reasoning. No density calculations are required. Students use a Google Slides version where objects can be moved to show where they would float or sink in the density column. This makes density
