Let’s Try It Out in the Water

by Seymour Simon and Nicole Fauteux
illustrated by Doug Cushman
Simon & Schuster, 2001
This fun activity book features playful artwork and simple hands-on experiments that explore the concept of buoyancy. The colorful illustrations show kids in wading pools, bathtubs, and ponds, and encourage readers to get wet as they observe whether common household objects sink or float, find ways to make heavy things float, and try to sink some simple boats. Tips for parents and teachers are included.
