Content Outline: Key Questions will include: What do you think will
float? What do you think will sink? Why do some objects float in water
while others do not? Float: to rest on top of a liquid (things that are
lighter than water or filled with air), Sink: to go down below the surface
of a liquid (things that are heavier)
Rationale: Students already know some things that float and sink and
can now connect their new understanding to real life.
Lesson Opening: To get the lesson started I will assess the students
for prior knowledge by showing them pictures of a bottle sinking and
floating. We will discuss the difference in the pictures and see who
knows the vocabulary sink and float. We will then talk about and
discuss things that we know to sink and float.
Connection: Students already know some objects that sink and float. I
will connect that prior knowledge to new understanding of the concept
of sink and float.
Homework: No homework
