Visitor Program: Sink or float?

Sink or float? Calling all scientists! We’ll take a short walk to collect items we find outside, like leaves, pine cones, stones, acorns, etc. It is then up to you to figure out if an object will sink or float in water! Use your observation skills to guess (predict) whether an item will sink or float. Then test out your prediction (experiment) and get your answer (result)!
Visitor Program is FREE with admission to SSC.

It’s a good idea to reserve online, especially with rain forecasted, as rainy summer days often find us at capacity, particularly in the morning, with walk-ins depending on availability. Book tickets here.
