STEM: Sink or Float
Main Library
Wednesday, Jul. 22
Register to get a "sink or float" kit that has 10 different items that you test to see whether they will sink or float. The kit also has a sheet where you can record your predictions and then your observations of what actually happens. Suggested age pre-k thru 3rd grade.
1 KIT PER FAMILY. Please only register once per family. Pick up of kits will work just like curbside pickup of books, call when you get to the parking lot and let us know your last name and what you are here to pick up. Pick up of kits begins Monday July 20th thru Saturday August 1st
A quick video, for those who wish to watch, will be added here to explain the experiment. Instructions: fill a glass, or bowl with water. Fill out your chart with the items you are going to test and then fill in whether you think that item will sink or float on your sheet. As you put the items in your bowl/glass record your observation of whether the items sinks or floats. Feel free to use other items you may have around your house, the kit it just to get you started.
