*****************************************************************************
I'm thinking of a simple buoyancy demo that could usefully employ a
6x6x3" of wood. Pieces that size are typically 5.5x5.5xX*. Also they
tend to split if left to dry. Any ideas on a substitute? I want
something that sinks reasonably into the water, maybe 1/2 the depth. I'm
also looking for a 40-50 quart plastic container that is fairly
transparent. I've seen a few in a local h/w store, but they might have a
transparency of 50%.
* I want to keep the dimesnions some reasonable fraction of a cubic foot.
