Floating Paper Clip Experiment

Floating Paper Clip Experiment

Today in science we tested an experiment called the floating paper clip 

    Materials:

clean dry paper clips

tissue paper

a bowl of water

pencil with eraser

How To Do It

Fill the bowl with water Try to make the paper clip float…not much luck, huh? Tear a piece of tissue paper about half the size of a dollar billGENTLY drop the tissue flat onto the surface of the water GENTLY place a dry paper clip flat onto the tissue (try not to touch the water or the tissue)Use the eraser end of the pencil to carefully poke the tissue (not the paper clip) until the tissue sinks. With some luck, the tissue will sink and leave the paper clip floating!

It Was Fun! My Partner Matua And I Had Some Fun After!
