Yellow Submarine

In the town where I was born,Lived a man who sailed to sea,And he told us of his life,In the land of submarines,

So we sailed on to the sun,Till we found the sea green,And we lived beneath the waves,In our yellow submarine,

We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow

submarine,We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

And our friends are all aboard,Many more of them live next door,And the band begins to play.

(Trumpets play)

We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow submarine,We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

.

(Full speed ahead, Mr. Barkley, full speed ahead!Full speed over here, sir!All together! All together!Aye, aye, sir, fire!Captain! Captain!)

As we live a life of ease(life of ease)Every one of us(every one of us) has all we need,(has all we need) Sky of blue,(sky of blue) and sea green,(sea of green)In our yellow(In our yellow) submarine.(submarine) ( Haha! )

We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow submarine,We all live in yellow submarine,yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

• Begin by reading children a book on ‘Super Submarines’.

• Open discussion with them on how submarines work.

• Set up float/sink experiment area with objects that the children can test.

• Make a model submarine and test the buoyancy.

Find an empty plastic bottle with a lid.

Does this empty bottle float?

Fill the empty bottle with water.

Does the full bottle sink? Pour out some of the water

and replace the lid. Look at how the bottle

floats. Put more water into the

Your bottle is now floating just like a submarine.
