Floating mid-water

This was a great experiment at the American Museum of Natural History that can be easily duplicated at home. The kids each had a plastic Easter egg. They filled it with pennies and put it in the water. Their aim was to get just enough so that it floated halfway between the top and bottom (like a fish).Once they had succeeded, they put the same egg in a glass of saltwater to see how salinity affects buoyancy. What fun!

Mass and melting

At the American Museum of Natural History today the volunteer educators were out! This volunteer showed the girls two identically sized slabs. One was metal, and the other a medium weight foam rubber. The metal slab came out of the freezer, and was cold to the touch. The rubber one was room temperature. The educator asked the girls on which slab would an ice cube melt more quickly. They (and I) responded: the warm one.

Then she put one ice cube on each slab. The one on the cold slab melted quickly in front of us, and the other hardly melted at all! Does anyone else know why?

Look at this fish!

I love the days when they have the "please touch" exhibits at the museum!
