Tuesday 3/31: Sink or Float…

March 31, 2020 by Club SciKidz MD

… that is the question.

The concept of floating and sinking seems a bit simple, but it is actually related to more complex science principles. Take some time to explore the resources to learn more about sinking and floating, and then try our experiment at the bottom to test your new found knowledge.

Hands on Experiment

Now that you’ve learned about floating, sinking, and buoyancy, it’s time to put that learning to the test. Grab two clementines and two glasses of water, and let’s get started! Materials: 2 clementines/tangerines, 2 large glasses filled about 3/4 with water

Extension Experiment

If you happen to have a lemon and a lime laying around, go ahead and try this. You may be surprised 🙂 This is a great extension for our curious kiddos. Click here to go to Steve Spangler website for the experiment.

    We are loving your lessons! Thank you so much for posting daily.
    Today was the first day our results were different from your results. Our peeled and with peel clementine both floated…

      Wow, that’s very interesting! Did it sink once it sat for a little while? Thanks for sharing your results!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to do these each far. We are really enjoying them and the kids are learning so much. As a parents , I also LOVE that you use common items that we have in our kitchen (as well as the item list shared at the beginning of each week for planning purposes). Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’ve been an amazing support during this time!
