Sink or Float Lesson Plan for Grade 3

The lesson plan is for a 3rd grade science class on sinking and floating. The teacher will ask guiding questions to introduce the concepts, show a video, have students do an experiment in groups to test which objects sink or float in water and record their observations. Each group will then share their findings, and students will write a reflection on what they learned from the experiment. The formative assessments include the experiment activity and reflection to check students' understanding of the differences between sinking and floating.
