Sci-Friday: Defying Gravity At-Home Science Experiment

20140620_DefyingGravityIt’s Sci-Friday! Try Defying Gravity with this easy at-home experiment.Is it easier to float in an ocean or a lake? Why is there a difference? The force of gravity pulls your body to Earth. But water exerts an upward force, called buoyancy (BOY-uhn-see) on your body. This buoyancy works against the force of gravity. Ocean water has something special in it — salt! Does salt water have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
