\t\t\t\tOur experiment starts with Nick.<\/p>\n

Nick had a Lego boat and a leaf in his \u201cAbout Me Box.\u201d When he shared with the class, he said: \u201cI like this leaf because it is red and it can swim in the water. My Lego boat can swim too. They will move along and not break in the water.\u201d This made us wondered: would they both swim if we put them into water? What about other stuff? Will they sink or float? Alex made a connection that he had done a similar experiment at home with his Lego boat that \u2018both would float. Today we decided to see for ourselves what would happen.<\/p>\n

Each student chose one item from the classroom to see if it would sink or float and we went outside with a big tub of water to do our experiment.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Zurfluh: \u201cWhat did you noticed?\u201d<\/p>\n

KZE noticed that \u201cSome things float and some things sink.\u201d
\nMrs. Zurfluh: \u201cWhy do you think that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

Altai: \u201cBig things sink and small things float.\u201d
\nAlex: \u201cIf that is true then why do boats float? They are very big.\u201d
\nNick: \u201cRocks will sink because they are small.\u201d
\nAlex: \u201cIf things are big they have more weight and can stay up. When they are small they don\u2019t have weight so sink.\u2019
\nAltai, Safir and Alexandra agreed with this.
\nGabi did not agree: \u201cSome small things can float and some big things can sink. Heavy things sink.\u201d
\nAlex does not agree: \u201cThen why do boats not sink? They are very heavy!\u201d
\nTim: \u201cSome big things have things inside that stop them sinking.\u201d
\nAda: \u201cThings that float are made of special materials.\u201d
\nVeronika: \u201cSome are heavy and sink. Some are not heavy and float.
\nJulia: \u201cBig things can float. Small things can sink.”
\nAmie: \u201cThings that sink don\u2019t have feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Zurfluh: \u201cHow can we find out?\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexandra: \u201cWe measure things to see if they will float or sink.\u201d
\nAmie: \u201cWe can do more experiments.\u201d
\nAlex: \u201cI looked for information on why things float on my dad\u2019s phone.\u201d
\nSafir: \u201cWe can look on the computer.\u201d
\nAltai: \u201cWe can watch TV.\u201d
\nTim: \u201cBooks. Sometimes people look at boats and then write what they find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

We posted our question \u201cWhy some things sink and some things float?\u201d on our wonder wall. We are waiting to see if it will spark more inquiry in KZE.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
