What Floats? with the WVES K-2 Students

The K-2 class at Waterville Valley Elementary School has been finding out “What Floats or Not” with some experimental observations indoors, followed by testing our theories about what floats outside in Snow’s Brook. In the style of Winnie-the-Pooh’s Pooh Sticks, we raced sticks, leaves and pinecones trying to pick out the one that would float better and cross the finish line first. We also found some floating water striders skimming across the top of the Corcoran’s Pond. What extraordinary amazement this group of students expresses towards science!
