Science Activities Involving Water

Do you have any activities that my children can do that involves water? - Water Babies
Answer: Children always enjoy playing with water. Here are some activities where they will have fun and learn how buoyancy works.
Experiment No. 1: While taking a bath, Archimedes jumped out of the bathtub and yelled "Eureka" because he had discovered the principle of buoyancy. Your children can investigate how buoyancy works. They'll need a bucket or wastebasket of water and modeling clay. They should form a ball with the clay and then drop it in the water. The ball will sink. They should then keep molding the clay until they find a shape that floats in the water. At this point, the clay is floating because the water pushes up on it with a force equal to its weight. Have them experiment with different shapes to see which one floats best (is more buoyant).
Experiment No. 2: They can expand the experiment by placing pennies on different clay shapes to see which one will hold the most pennies before it sinks.
Experiment No. 3: Very young children can learn about buoyancy by putting a variety of household items in water and observing which ones float.
