Super scientists exploring floating and sinking!

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Beesley- EYFS Unit Year: 2024 - 2025

The children in Beesley class have been learning about floating and sinking.  Before we started we made a prediction about whether we thought different objects would float or sink. The children voted using their arms by putting them up if they thought the object would float and arms down if they thought the object would sink. We then tested out the objects and recorded our findings. Throughout the afternoon the children explored different objects in the water areas both inside and outside.

Afterwards the children then had a challenge to make their own boat and test it to see how many objects it could hold before it sank. 

We had lots of fun exploring floating and sinking!
