= LESSON PLAN = created by: North Point 1st Grade Team

__Core Objective/Standard__:
Standard 3: Physical Science Objective 2: Analyze objects and record their properties. Indicator 2: Predict measurable properties such as weight, temperature, and whether objects sink or float; test and record data.

__Student learning objective__:
Students will predict whether an object sinks or floats; test and record data

__Materials needed__:
= = __Part 1__ clear plastic cups filled half way with water-2 for each group various objects from around the classroom for sink/float trials such as:paper clips, rubber bands, crayons, unifix cubes, craft stick, pencil, cotton ball, dice ice cubes small rocks sink or float worksheet (below)

__Part 2__ crock pot or hot plate bowls and spoons vegetables for soup vegetable soup recipe of your choice and items included for said recipe A copy of the story //Stone Soup// Veggies: Raw and Cooked worksheet (below)

__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
__Part 1__ Activate prior knowledge. Ask students to explain the concept of sink and float.

__Part 2__ Read the story //Stone Soup// Prepare and cut the vegetables for soup

**__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:** = = __Part 1__ 1.Set out two clear plastic cups, each half-filled with water. Ask students, "What do you think will happen when we put the ice cubes into one of the cups? Predict if they will sink or float" 2. Have one student come up and add some ice cubes to the first cup. "What happened?" (The ice floated.) 3. Ask students to look at the second cup of water. "What will happen if you drop some rocks into the water?" Predict. "What happened?" (The rock sank.)

__Part 2__ 1. Before they add each vegetable, ask them to predict "Will it sink or float?" 2. Once the vegetables are in the pot, allow students to see if they sink or float. 3. With adult supervision, allow each student to observe which vegetables are floating after the soup is cooked. 4. After soup is cooked, enjoy a small serving of soup.

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson.__
__Part 1__ Get students into groups. Give each group a clear cup half filled with water and have them select some small items from the classroom to put into the water.

__Part 2__ Have students record which raw vegetables sink or float Have students record which cooked vegetables sink or float

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
__Part 1__ Observation along with sink or float worksheet = = __Part 2__ Observation along with student recording sheet
