Sink or Float?

This month for our Physical Science Unit we are learning to predict, observe, and record results.  Sink or Float is a fun activity where the students will be able to do all three of those objectives while discovering whether certain objects float or sink.  I will provide the students with all materials and objects for the lesson but they are more than welcome to bring small objects from home to test if they are particularly curious about something.  I will send home a reminder the day before we perform the experiment.
