The exhibits below are for KTU registered kids and parents in the Virginia Tech Kids' Tech University program on April 5th!
Exhibit title- "Sinkers or Floaters"
Solve this mystery: Will it sink or float? Make a prediction and test your prediction. Draw some colnclusions. Why do some objects sink? Why do some objects float? It has to do with the science of density and buoyancy.
Group hosting exhibit- VT Service Learning group
The undergraduate students presenting the activity are Virginia Tech Service Learning Students. As part of their classes, students participate in service projects where they donate a portion of their time and write a final report on their experience. Kids' Tech University is excited to work with these students!
