This is a great activity for language experiences and counting. This easy 'Sink or Float' activity is from Michelle and is for a small group of youngsters. Put ice cubes in the plastic glass. Tell the class that you are going to cover the ice cubes with water. The ice cubes won't stay under the water.
Ice cubes float on water because they are lighter than the water.
Do this experiment with the various items listed and discuss which items they think will float and which will sink. Discuss the possibilities before you actually put the item in the glass. This will get them thinking before you actually complete the activity. Boats Float - A Sink or Float Experiment. Shannon K .
