Preschool Class Tests Predictions and Outcomes
Ms. Webers preschool class had a wonderful time conducting a science experiment called “Sink or Swim” to illustrate the concept of sink and float. The class used a big bucket of water and tested items like a popsicle stick, a bottle of hand sanitizer, a tiny seashell, a small pumpkin, a Kleenex and many more. First they graphed their “predictions”. Ms. Weber explains, “We guessed if each item would sink or float. Next, we put the items in one by one. We then observed the actual outcome. What a surprise it was to see that the tiny seashell sank to the bottom while the much bigger pumpkin floated on top of the water! Finally we re-graphed the results. How different our “predictions” and “results” graphs looked!!”
