Science Time: Water

Have you ever wondered why some objects float and others sink? Or how to make a boat that floats? Or how to make a rain bottle? Come find out at Science Time: Water! 

Science Time gets little scientists involved in a fun and interactive learning experience. Each session starts with a question. Children and their caregivers work together to investigate, discover, and then share their findings. Hands-on experiments, activities and crafts help children to explore the topic further. The session finishes with a demonstration and an activity sheet so you can continue your STEM journey at home.
