Sink or Float

Science Sunday

013
Prepped area, with a towel and the titles FLOAT and SINK (Laminated)

015016
The boys took turns taking an object (I had collected several in a bin before hand, that coincided with the Montessori cards linked below). They would guess sink or float, and then put the object in the water table.


017
Afterwards they would place the object on the towel under the correct title. 


018
Then we went inside and used the Montessori Print Shop SINK OR FLOAT Cards to review what we had just done.

    Children seem to love playing in water. I love the rug the boys are working on inside. My son has a race track just like it.

    Thank you so much for linking up at NOBH. Have a great week!
