Sink or Float??

This seems like it would be a really fun activity to do in an elementary school class. I do wish that there were enough materials such the groups could have been a bit smaller, such that everyone would have a chance to handle the materials. Also, I felt as though there wasn't quite enough time to fully use the lesson to it's potential. It was fun to be able to go through the process that our students themselves go through. I feel it's important to run through the experiments with the eyes of a students, to make sure that the lesson completes what the objectives of the lesson will be. Making sure the lessons are meaningful for students and that they reflect the national and state standards is, what i believe, to be the most challenging part of being a teacher. I look forward to more activites like this!
