First graders drop items into water, and discuss why some things float and others sink.

Students perform experiments to see if items will sink or float. In this sink or float lesson, students work in groups to make predictions, and record the results. After the experiments are complete students make a book of the results.

Students observe and classify objects that float or sink.
