This is a recording sheet to accompany a sink or float experiment in the primary grades. Students predict and then test if a quarter, leaf, stick, paper clip, cork and rock will sink or float in a cup of water. Clear illustrations for sink and float make this perfect for primary and ELL/ESOL students to use.

Use this recording sheet with your students to observe what happens to a flower when it is put in regular water, blue-dyed water, and no water. Supports scientific observation/recording skills. Engage students in discussion about the needs of plants and how plants drink water.
