Float or Sink

 In Home-Based Instruction

Hello,

Below is a video lesson along with printable works.

Float or Sink – Video Lesson

Notes: (1) Find a couple of objects to start the lesson, and ask your child to find more from around the house. This is to see if the objects float or sink (a piece of Lego, a spoon…)  (2) During the lesson avoid explaining why things float vs. sink, leave it to your child to discover. (3) You may write the words Float/Sink to identify where to place the objects.
