1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
Watch carefully. One thing stays on top of the water. One thing goes down. Why do you think that happened?
2 - Look and Guess ~2 mins
Look at each thing I hold up. Thumbs up if you think it will float and stay on top. Thumbs down if you think it will sink and go down to the bottom.
3 - Surprising Pairs on the Board ~3 mins
Guess first, then we drop and watch. We will start with the big log and the small nail.
Will it float or sink?
4 - Water Tray Play ~9 mins
At the water tray, pick one thing. Guess float or sink first. Then put it in and watch. Try the next one the same way.
5 - Sort Float and Sink ~4 mins
Use the dry things in the tub, the ones that stayed dry. Put the ones that floated in the float hoop. Put the ones that sank in the sink hoop.
