Description
Engage with the principles of buoyancy and density through a colorful and fun science experiment using floating dry erase markers.
Ingredients
- Clear container (e.g., glass or plastic)
- Water
- Floating dry erase markers (various colors)
- Paper towels (for cleanup)
- Optional: glitter, beads, or other decorative elements for added fun
Instructions
- Gather all materials needed for the experiment.

- Carefully drop the markers one by one into the water.
- Listen for the gentle plop as the markers hit the surface.
- Watch the markers float and observe their ink dispersing beautifully into the water.
- Experiment by nudging the markers or adding more colors to see different effects.
Notes
