I'm volunteering at my local library to help out with Science in the Summer sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline. I help out during Session I which the 2nd and 3rd graders attend. This year's topic is oceanography, and today the kids learned about the three types of water (salt, brackish, and fresh) and density. They combined their two newly learned ideas by creating a density tower with each type of water. To simulate real life circumstances, salt water was dyed blue and got 3 spoonfuls of salt, brackish water was green and got 1 spoonful of salt, and fresh water was red and got no salt. As predicted, the red 'fresh' water floated on top of the green 'brackish' water which in turn floated on top of the blue 'salt' water all because of their densities, which amazed the children for awhile.
