About this worksheet

Five science words, sink, float, heavy, light and test, are matched to pictures on this 3-page kindergarten sheet. Page 1 lists the words on the left and five pictures on the right in a different order: a duck on water, a feather, a stone in a tub, a child dropping a toy into water and a child lifting a box. Page 2 uses a four-word bank to finish sentences about a rock, a cork, a brick and a guess. It supports Common Core L.K.6, and the key names the right picture for each word.
