What a perfect day for a sink or float!
It was one of those not-so-rare anymore warm January days that just invites an outside math/science lesson!
We started by finding out what happens when you drop a ball of clay in water.
Then we thought about what we could do to change the result.
How could we get the clay to float?
The boys and girls worked with their clay and experimented with different designs.
Through collaboration, trial and error, and determination, each child was able to make a vessel that would float!
Success! Now on to the next step... boat building with other materials!
