Sinking and Floating

Well today was a normal Thursday for the most part. Started off with heading my daughter off to Ballet/Tap Class and went to Target for a little bit to scope out some more baby clothes for the littlest one. If it's items like Circo or Carters she needs a 9 months but if it's Gymboree or something she can still get by in 3-6 months. I found her a few cute new things. I love Targets clothes!


Then we went to chickfila and met up with my husband and had lunch with him and my friend Kim while the kids had a little play date.




Today for science we decided to do a Shoe Box Science: Sink or Float experiment.




We took a plastic tub from the boys room and filled it up with water.


They went on a little treasure hunt around the house and yard to find different items to put inside the box.


1) Ask: What will happen if??

2) Guess: What will happen..

3) Try: Test to see if your answer was right.

4) Answer: Was your answer right?


The kids had a lot of fun with this experiment! My daughter even got involved on this one and had lots of fun!
