Pen Cap Science Game

It's one of the fun science experiments and kids water games that can be played at home or at school.

Again, this fun experiment uses common items around your house. Learning and teaching does not need to be expensive!

Need: one cap off of a pen, a plastic soda bottle with a cap (lid) (the smaller bottles), water and small piece of modeling clay

Fill the plastic bottle with water almost to the top. Leave about one inch of space from the top.

Using the piece of clay, attach this to the long "arm" of your pen cap at the very bottom.

Take your pen cap and put it into the water in the bottle. Your cap should float!

Take the bottle cap and put it back on the plastic bottle, securing it tightly.

Hold the bottle in your hands and squeeze both sides of it at the same time. Watch what happens to your pen cap! It should sink!

Try doing the same experiment without the clay. Watch what happens to the pen cap when it's placed in the bottle of water!

This is another experiment perfect to use with kids in elementary school.

Younger kids often like to DO to learn. These children love hands on experiments.

They learn by doing and watching. It's fun to them and makes learning easier.

It engages their minds, keeps them interested and is less likely to cause boredom.
