Kindergarten Science · World 5: Sink or Float Bay · Level 31
Wood, Metal, and More
Notice patterns: wooden things float, and a metal key sinks.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 31
- Scientists look for patterns. Look: wooden things float!
- Small metal things, like a key, a coin, and a spoon, sink.
- Leaves, feathers, and sponges float. Rocks sink.
- Your turn! Sort them: sinks or floats.
- Try it with a grown-up! Test a wooden spoon and a metal spoon in water. What happens?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKP1.c — Plan and carry out an investigation to predict and observe whether objects, based on their physical attributes, will sink or float.
