Sink or Float Activity: What makes an object sink or float in water?
Gather some things from around your house that are okay to get wet. These might be a toy, silverware, fruit, coins, a piece of Aluminum foil, a small piece of paper, toothbrush, etc.
Put water in a container that is big enough to hold your objects. This could be a bowl, a bucket, the kitchen sink or a bathtub.
Predict: Before you put the object in the water, predict if you think it will sink or float. Why do you predict that?
Observe: Put the object into the water. Did the object sink or float? Was your prediction correct?
Explain: What patterns do you see? What kinds of things sink? What kinds of things float?
Today's activities also focus on using manipulatives to build locomotor skills and body control.

Protein:
We should try and eat protein to ensure we give our bodies lots of energy!
Our muscles, heart and stomach and our immune system are mostly made of protein.
Protein also helps build our hair and nails grow!
We should try to eat 3 to 5 ounces of protein a day!
There are many delicious types of protein to choose from:
Meat, chicken, fish and eggs.
We also include beans, nuts and seeds in the protein category.
What are some of your favorite types of protein to eat?
