Sink or Float

I collected a variety of objects for the students to test.  I found a measuring spoon, a popsicle stick, a candle, a rubberband, a gourd, a metal spoon, a clothes pin, a paper clip, a penny, a baby food jar lid, and a unifix cube.  The students poured water into the bowl and then placeed one object at a time in the bowl to see if it floated or sank.  If it floated, then they dried the object off and placed it in the yes column on the felt.  If it didn't float, then they dried the object off and put in the no column.  I have also included a page with drawn pictures of the objects for the students to record which items float and which sink.
