So…I’m a brand new blogger and I don’t have much to throwback to… if you know what I’m saying, but I just have to feel like one of the cool kids today and join in on Cara‘s Linky Party!
So, I’m throwing all the way back to…..May! 🙂

We had such a fun time today with our sink/float science lesson. My kids were very excited to become real scientists and they took their jobs of predicting, testing, and concluding very seriously! We started out with a little vocab and a KWL chart to get our schema going. I was very impressed with what they knew already and with the questions that they wanted answered.
…excuse that typo in the Learned section…we’ll fix that 🙂
After some VERY CLEAR instructions about not chucking objects into water tubs or starting a water war with your neighbor…we set to work making predictions and testing out our hypotheses. So great!
They did so well! I expected and prepared for some mighty soaked desks, but my kids were so responsible with their materials.
They really loved that do-or-die, sink-or-float moment when they discovered whether or not their prediction was correct. They also loved being surprised by a few objects like the sponge or the pumice. I loved being able to watch their predictions unfold and change as they tested more and more objects.
Now, I am new to this whole thing and I don’t profess to have a single soul reading this….BUT, just in case someone is and just in case that someone is interested in this lesson, you can grab the materials I made for this lesson right here.
In my itty bitty TPT store. Thanks!!
