Sink Or Float
It was neat to see the children explore the concept of “sink” and “float” with natural materials. We invited the children over to predict which items would sink and which would float. The children used Velcro pieces to put their predictions on the poster board. The children were excited to test their predictions by putting the materials in the water. By making predictions, testing and observing the children are exploring scientific inquiry which is a core concept of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The children are also able to compare and contrast the different materials and discover why certain items sink and others float.
