The concept of floating and sinking seems a bit simple, but it is actually related to more complex science principles. Take some time to explore the resources to learn more about sinking and floating, and then try our experiment at the bottom to test your new found knowledge.
Now that you’ve learned about floating, sinking, and buoyancy, it’s time to put that learning to the test. Grab two clementines and two glasses of water, and let’s get started! Materials: 2 clementines/tangerines, 2 large glasses filled about 3/4 with water
We are loving these lessons and look forward to them daily. Thank you for continuing to post them!

We are loving your lessons! Thank you so much for posting daily.
Today was the first day our results were different from your results. Our peeled and with peel clementine both floated…
Wow, that’s very interesting! Did it sink once it sat for a little while? Thanks for sharing your results!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these each far. We are really enjoying them and the kids are learning so much. As a parents , I also LOVE that you use common items that we have in our kitchen (as well as the item list shared at the beginning of each week for planning purposes). Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’ve been an amazing support during this time!

You are very welcome! We are happy to do anything that we can to support parents and keep kiddos engaged (and learning) at this time.
