How Many Drops Can Fit On Different Coins
Well Scientists,
We applied scientific method to figure out drops on a penny. Now you can have fun with this activity at home. The question this time is What happens if you use different coins”. Does more water fit on bigger coins or smaller coins. In your experiment, you will use a different coin, like a nickel, a dime, or a quarter? Use what you know about a penny to predict how many drops will fit on a different coin. You can also add compare soapy water to regular water and see what happens? Choose one thing to change (that’s the variable) and make a prediction. Then test it and send your results to ZOOM. Your results could end up online..HAVE FUN EXPERIMENTING
SAFETY ALERT: ALWAYS REMEMBER even the simplest activities with the most basic of materials can be harmful or dangerous, so parental supervision and guidance is critical at all times
