Water experiment
  Use food service precut sheets of Aluminum 
foil. Kids make a boat out of sheet of one sheet. 
Drop coins in it to see how many it will hold. 
The shape of the boat determines how many it will 
hold.We use pennies.Could use washers.

Floating and sinking plastic easter eggs. Can the 
kids weight an egg to make it Flink, half float half sinks.
