Sink or Float Lesson

Our science topic for this month is "Sink or Float." Today we watched a video on brainpop.com then they split into groups to do an experiment. I gave them a sink or float record sheet then asked them to sort out the items, I had gathered, onto wax paper that said sink on one and float on the other. After they recorded all the items on the paper they tested each item in the water. If it sank they recorded it and why then they did the same if it floated. It was a fun activity and we always love watching the Brain Pop videos. I have a few more experiments planned for the next few weeks so keep an eye out for those.
