Kindergarten students are learning all about MATTER in their classrooms, so in the STEM Lab we are experimenting with properties of matter. The students have had an opportunity to see what will sink and float in water. We talked about this property of matter called buoyancy. This was really fun and surprising...did you know some rocks can float? Float A Boat was a STEM activity that extended on what we were learning about buoyancy. Each group of students were given a piece of aluminum foil to make into a boat. The goal was to make a boat that would hold the most golf balls before sinking. The record for Kindergarten was a boat that held 28 golf balls!!! SINK AND FLOAT EXPERIMENT
