Density Experiment: Floating Layers

SS will explore the concept of density by observing how different liquids form layers in a tall glass (honey, corn syrup, dish soap, water, oil, and alcohol). After building the density column, SS will predict and test what happens when they drop different small objects inside (e.g., a bead, paper clip, button, Lego). They will observe which layer each object sinks or floats in, discovering that denser liquids and heavier objects stay lower while lighter ones float higher.

METACOGNITION: CREATIVE

Listen to the obvious option: What happens when I drop the object?

Brainstorm hidden options: Why does it stop in a certain layer?

Reflect: What did I learn about how density affects if something sinks or floats?

PQ

What do you notice about how the liquids stay in layers?

Why do some objects sink while others float?

What can you tell about the density of each liquid?

DIFF:

Emerging: SS will observe and identify which objects float or sink with teacher support.

Session # 11 - "Making Writing the best it can be"

Students will learn to revise and improve their writing by using a checklist and giving/receiving feedback from peers.

Connection:
Gather students on the rug.

“Writers, you’ve already been working so hard to get your ideas onto the page. Today we’ll learn that writers don’t just say ‘I’m done.’ Writers reread and make their writing the best it can be.”

Show the new checklist (with icons for Picture, Words, Spacing, Neatness, Labels).

Teaching Point:
“Today I want to teach you that writers use a checklist to make sure their writing is the best it can be. Writers reread, check their work, and sometimes make little changes to make it even better.”

Teaching (Modeling):

1. Show a student sample (your own or a volunteer’s with permission).

2. Use the checklist step by step:

Picture: “Do I have a picture?” (check)

Words: “Do I have words?” (circle missing labels)

Spacing: “Can I read my words easily?”

Neatness: “Is my work neat so others can read it?”

Labels: “Did I add details?”

3. Make a small change (e.g., add a missing label, fix spacing).

Active Engagement:

Partners switch papers and use the checklist together.

Partner A: Reads and checks Partner B’s writing. Gives one compliment and one suggestion (“I like how you… Maybe you could add…”).

Switch roles.

Link:
“Writers, today when you go off to write, you’ll use the checklist to make your writing the best it can be. Remember, writing isn’t just about finishing fast—it’s about making your work clear, detailed, and easy for others to read.”

Independent Writing:

Ss continue working on a piece of writing.

They use the checklist independently before putting it away.

Teacher circulates, confers, and prompts students to check specific areas.

Share:

Invite 1–2 Ss to share how they improved their writing using the checklist.

Highlight specific examples of giving/receiving feedback.

“Writers, today we learned that checklists and friends can help us make our writing stronger.”

PQ (Prompt Questions):

How does the checklist help us as writers?

What can you do to make your writing easier for others to read?

What is one kind suggestion you can give a friend about their writing?

Students will explore the themes of kindness, fitting in, and friendship. They will predict events, connect to their own experiences of belonging, and reflect on what it means to be “cool” through discussion and creative response.

Interactive Read-Aloud and Discussion

Before Reading

Show the cover. Ask:

“What do you think makes a bean cool?”

“Have you ever wanted to be like someone else? Why?”

“How do you think the main bean feels on the cover?”

Make a class chart: What Makes Someone Cool? (kind, friendly, helpful, fun).

During Reading

Pause when the bean notices the others being “cool.” Ask:

“Why does the bean feel left out?”

“What do you think will happen next?”

“How can someone show kindness even if they look or act different?”

Stop when the Cool Beans help the main character. Ask:

“Why did they decide to help?”

“What do you predict will happen to their friendship?”

Highlight emotions: lonely, embarrassed, surprised, happy.

After Reading

Discuss:

“What surprised you about the Cool Beans?”

“How do you think the main bean felt at the end?”

“Have you ever had a time when someone was kind to you?”

Add to chart: Cool Ways to Be Kind (share, include others, help, smile).

Prompt Questions (PQ):

What lesson does this story teach about being “cool”?

How do you feel when you are left out?

Why is kindness more important than being popular?
