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.

For this activity, students will be asked to make a prediction about different objects in the sun – will they melt or will they remain solid? I used this worksheet during a full-class science experiment, but it could easily work as an independent activity. Tip: The set-up/follow-up are super important! Be sure to start with observations about the sun, and a discussion about each object on the list. Once their predictions are made, bring each object out in the sun and have them make sensory obs
