Time for a Science Experiment!
Ask an adult to help you draw the chart below:
Have you ever wondered if the items in your pencil case would float? Many years ago, a lot of people came to this country on boats. Did they fly across on the boat like a magic carpet? Did they pick it up and run across the ocean with it? Maybe....the boat floated in the water and they rode inside to cross the big, wide ocean. I wonder what else can float? Make a list! Write the name of items you want to experiment with to the left of your page under the "Items" column. In your "Hypothesis" column, check off whether you think the item will float or sink. A "Hypothesis" is an educated guess, meaning we really think about it before making a guess and saying what we think might happen before we actually try it out.
Once you have a hypothesis for each item, it's time to give it a try! Put each item on your list in water and let's see what really happens. Did you guess right or did something else happen? Interesting! Check it off in your "Results" column for what actually sinks or floats. What else can you try this sink or float experiment with?
This Sunday we are preparing to celebrate Pentecost. Here is an idea of what it is about. We will talk more about it later on.
