Watch PEEP episodes and live-action videos about floating and sinking.

Materials

Play these videos in the Technology Center on the days indicated:

Day 1

The Fish Museum (9:00)

Poor Fish Jr. She wants so much to wear sneakers and sit in a tree. Can Quack make her dreams come true?

Day 2

Floating Fun (1:30)

Some things float and other things sink. That's what the kids find out when they start putting stuff in the pool.

Day 5

Sinking Ships (1:30)

Making boats and floating them in a pool is fun. Sinking them is even more fun! The kids let their boats take on water and sink. They also make them sink by adding heavy cargo.

Directions

Add the videos on the days indicated. The PEEP episodes, live-action videos, and online games should be made available after children have been introduced to them in a Morning Circle activity. Based on the recommendations of NAEYC and the American Pediatric Association, the Technology Center should only be used by children older than two.
