This past week we learned about two sailors (Noach and Christopher Columbus). The class was interested in how Noach's Ark and Christopher Columbus' ships were able to float on the water. We performed experiments to see which objects would float on top of liquid and which would sink. At the Science Center Gan Daled predicted and recorded which items will sink and which will float. The children enjoyed pushing a cork below the water and watching it pop back up to the surface. We read the book Floating and Sinking by Fred Biddulph. The children are excited about continuing to experiment at home.
