Rub a dub, dub, pirates have fun in the tub. Or in the kiddie pool. Backyard pools are a fun place for some more science. Using some various shaped containers, watch how water changes it shape to fit in the space. Show your munchkin how the water loses that shape when it is poured. Where did the shape go? Does water always pour down. Use some empty containers with holes in the bottom or sides and see where the water comes out. Try small holes and big ones. Squeeze the containers and watch the water spurt. Try making a waterfall. Does the water have some force? How does it water feel? What does the water do if an adult gets in the pool, too? Adults need science time, especially in hot weather. Doesn’t that feel good?
