Today's learning target was...identify what factors determine if an object floats.
We began class by sharing our water cycle books that each student created. I look forward to reading these to see how well our students did.
The majority of the class was aimed towards our learning target. Students viewed an online interactive observing how mass and volume effect how an object floats or sink. After our observations, we discussed the requirements for an object to float in water. Student's decided that in order for an object to float in water, the volume must be larger than the mass. If the mass is larger than the volume, it will sink.
