Paper Clip Science Experiment
A fun paper clip science experiment, one of the fun science games, cool kids water games and kids learning games for school or home. Paper clips shouldn't float, should they? Well, that depends! Well - logic tells us that paper clips will sink in water but science sometimes defies our logic! Try this experiment and see what happens! Need: paper clip, small bowl, q tip or toothpick and piece of tissue paper 3 inches long Fill the bowl with water. Place your paper clip in the water? Does it float?! Even though you are hoping it will, chances are it's going to sink to the bottom of your bowl. Take your tissue paper scrap and place it on top of the water in the bowl. Gently place the paper clip on the tissue paper without touching the paper or water. Using a q tip or toothpick, gently push down on the tissue paper until it sinks to the bottom of the bowl. Your paper clip should then float! You can use different sizes of paper clips in this experiment. See if one floats more easily than the other one. Try putting 2 paper clips on the tissue and see what happens. Use colored paper clips for a pretty floating object! This is another good experiment teachers can do with their kids in school. Sometimes it's the simple things that make the biggest impressions on kids. Using paper clips, water and paper tissue is a pretty simple thing - and easy to do!
