Here's a sample of the type of activities To introduce our weekly topics. This is the outline for the day we studied boats. What is a boat? Using a long rope, create an outline of a boat and place the boat terms at the appropriate spots. Have the children sit in the boat Have several pictures of different types of boats, each with a bit of information about the boat. Each child will choose a boat and then share some interesting information about the boat, such as: purpose size how it was made when & where it's from After all the pictures are displayed, compare the sizes of all the boats. Try some buoyancy experiments. Which items float, and which do not? With a cup and water, demonstrate to the children how the water level rises when something is placed in it. Discuss Archimedes' Principle: a volume of water as heavy as a particular object must be displaced for the object to float. The weight of the object equals the weight of the water that it displaces. Notice which items displace the largest amount of water. Have groups of children make "boats" out of wax paper and paper clips. See how many pennies their boats can hold before they drown. Allow the children to carve dug-out boats from zucchinis. What shape floats best? What shape is fastest in the water? Have the children visit a real boat.
