How Many Pennies Can Your Boat Float?
A simple lab in buoyancy for 2nd or 3rd graders. Simple materials. Easy to set up, with extensions for extra work. It's best used as a cooperative project, but it could also be an independent research study. The questions lead the students to analyze why their boats act the way they do. An answer key is included. As a head's-up, prepare for a fair amount of spillage in this lab! It will definitely engage your learners.

Sink or Float Lesson Plan- Grade 1
Students learn about the properties of water by testing various objects to determine whether they will sink or float.
This lesson includes
-Standards
-Step-by-step instructions (introduction, modeling, application)
-Pre-created activity sheet (formative assessment)
-Differentiation: alternative activity (formative assessment ) for English Language Learners (ELL), students with I.E.P.s, etc.

Sink v. Float Science Experiment
Have your students explore the properties of water with this science experiment! In pairs or small groups, have your students make a prediction about each item on the list. (Will it float in water? Why or why not? etc.) Then have them conduct the experiment! One student can place each item in the water while the other records the results on this chart.

1st grade Science Inquiry: Sink or Float
This is a worksheet that I created for an experiment. The students have to make predictions on the worksheet and once they have finished, the teacher should show all of the items in a tub of water for all to see whether or not the item will sink or float. :)

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 ( <

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

Film Canister Submarine - Density Lab - Buoyancy & Density STEM Challenge
In this hands-on STEM challenge, students design and test a film canister “submarine” that sinks as slowly as possible. By exploring the relationship between mass, volume, and density, students will learn why some objects float, sink, or hover in water. This activity is perfect for middle school physical science or as an NGSS-aligned enrichment lesson on density and buoyancy. Students love the challenge aspect, and teachers love the ready-to-use directions, data tables, and answer keys! Wh

Modeling Pangaea
Students use a list of archeological evidence to map or plot out geographical locations of evidence that supports Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift. Students then cut out the major plates and match up corresponding or equivalent locations to reconstruct pangea. (note - a flat map of Earth is necessary to plot original geographic locations). I would also encourage students to online resources to identify regional geography.
