During the Week, we introduced the concept of floating and sinking. For this activity, we asked the kids to play with water and some fruits and vegetables as well as other objects. It was good experience of introducing the concept of floating and sinking. While playing, we talked to the kids about things float and others sink. They experienced the knowledge through practice and actual involvement. We extended the learning throughout worksheet activity. Each child was trying to put different food and objects in water, then they pasted pics of the same objects on paper with pictures of two containers of water. Many kids were able to reflect their understanding of the concept on the paper, while few kids needed some help.
Purpose:
- To achieve the goal of Grid 10 and introduce the concept of floating and sinking.
