Meet our Interns...

We have been very lucky this semester to have 2 inters from the University of Texas...Ms. Luong and Ms. Zhang! We have really enjoyed learning lots of new things from them.
This week, Ms. Luong and Ms. Zhang did science with us. Ms. Luong helped us do an experiment on floating and sinking. We made predictions on which items would sink and which would float and then tested our predictions...

The next day, Ms. Zhang challenged us to see if we could make a piece of modeling clay float...
We tried a lot of things....
Nope...sank...
Try again...
Nope...sank again...
For the record...blowing air into the clay doesn't work...
We finally figured out how to flatten the clay out and curve up the sides so water can't get in (like a boat), and although we don't have any pictures, we really did get some to float! Really, we did!
