It’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?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEJ3rPyK2cQ]Hey everyone it’s Riley Wilkinson with today’s Deal of the Day. It’s Monday July 16th, and I’d like to tell you about Science Challenge of the Week.This product is really, kinda fantastic because it does the work for you. It teaches your students about science: Earth Science, physical science and life science during the course of the week. We have designed 40 fully illustrated cards, one for every week of the school year. You put this up on week one and you tell your students, “There is an image, and in this image, something is scientifically wrong. It’s your job as a student to find out what’s wrong.” For example, this one has a spider hanging from its web in front of a window over some toys, what’s wrong with this image?Well, in the instruction manual, there’s a full explanation for each of them that tells you as a teacher what the problem is, what the science challenge is that the students are solving. In this case, the spider has 6 legs; we all know that spiders have eight legs. So, the lucky student who drew a spider with eight legs would have their drawing put into the pouch at the end of the week.It’s really a great way to get students interested in science and to get them talking about science at home with the family and with each other in your classroom. $24.99 Regularly priced, and today’s deal of the day makes it $14.99 until midnight PST. So go to educationalinsights.com and check it out!
