For our science lesson today, we will be seeing if things float or sink.
Fill the tub with water. Â Now ask your children to bring you some toys (5 toys each).
Step One: Put them into two piles:Â “I think these will float.” & “I think these will sink”
Step Two: Predictions: Will they sink or float?
Step Three: Test your theories.
Drop them in, one at a time, and see what happens.
Math: make a graph of the things that float vs. sink and see which is higher. Â See which one has more when you have tested all of the toys.

Art: Make an octopus.  Here are the directions:
Take a paper plate and have your child make an octopus face on it.
Now take another sheet of paper, cut out 8 strips, and use these for the legs.
Glue, staple or tape them on (well, have your child do it).
AGAIN- REMEMBER THAT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT! Â DO NOT DO IT FOR THEM! Â Part of the lesson is using their fine motor skills to cut and glue.
SONG/POEM:
One, two, three, four, five –
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten –
Then I let it go again.
Why did I let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right
I hope you enjoyed that! Â Easy, quick, fun lessons that your child will love (& learn a lot from it!)
