The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown. Mr S Reads Three Little Pigs An Architectural Tale. Jump Into Science Dirt by Steve Tomecek. The Boat and the Beetle. Lesson Focus This lesson further develops principles of floating and sinking to young learners.
It allows children to explore how boats and ships use the principle of displacement and buoyancy to stay afloat. The activities allow children to experiment with different shapes and design of boat ‘hull’ to see which floats best. It introduces the concepts of displacement and buoyancy in a practical activity. It also introduces the idea of a fair test. Age Levels: Objectives Anticipated Learner Outcomes I can make a model boat which will float on water.I can describe the body of the boat as a hull correctly.I can talk about the shape the hull of the boat needs to be to float on water.I can predict if a model will float or sink- and explain why it will do so using the idea of displacement.I can explain why my model works because of displacement and buoyancy.

Engineering 201: DIY Recycled Suspension Bridge. Save As The Babe and I were driving across the Golden Gate Bridge to San Francisco the other day, she said “look at all the poles!”
I said that those are actually cables that are holding the bridge up. And she said “How does that work?” And I said, “uhhh, hmmm… ahh, let me check on that and get back to you.” This post is my public service announcement for all parents crossing a bridge with an inquisitive child. A suspension bridge is a bridge in which the deck (the part that you drive across) is hung below suspension cables on vertical suspender cables.

Ultraviolet Testing with Color Changing UV Beads. With all of the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) numbers available, we want to know what SPF lotion really works best at keeping out the sun's harmful UV rays.
Start by collecting various strengths of sunscreen (SPF 4, 15, and 30, for example). Since the UV Color-Changing Beads are very sensitive to changes in UV energy, you can use the beads to determine the blocking potential of the sunscreen. Place the beads in a zipper-lock bag and apply a layer of sunscreen to the outside of the bag. Use a permanent marker to write the SPF number of the sunscreen you're testing on the outside of the bag. Be sure to set up one bag without any sunscreen coating for comparison purposes. The beads will always change color, regardless of how well the sunscreen blocks UV - the beads are very sensitive! Light Test Place a handful of UV beads near a fluorescent light. Black Light "Black light" (long wave ultraviolet light) can also be used to change the color of the beads. Cloudy Day Sunglasses UV Filters. Sci . Marble Maze.
