IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

This week we have been reading informational texts on various kinds of homes.  Yesterday we read a book about houses on the water.  There was a great experiment in the back of the book to see if the children could make their own floating home.  The children were so enthusiastic about this experiment that during Free Choice they made their very own homes!

We made predictions on whether or not our homes would float or sink.

At the end of the day today we got a large bowl of water to see if they would indeed float.  Much anticipation was present as each child got their raft and put it in the bowl.  Zakeyah made a great chart to show how many floated and how many sunk.

Results-ALL FLOATED!  The children were super excited about these results!
