Of course, it is the half-full barrel that provides enough ballast to balance in the water just fine, thus teaching why boats needs to have some weight in order to be seaworthy. In his silly scientific experiment, he is trying to see what will float in a moat, with three iteratios: a barrel of buttermilk (full), an empty barrel, and a barrel half full of buttermilk (because his trusty sidekick could not drink it all). What Floats in a Moat? by Lynne Berry and Matthew Cordell features a goat named Archie (after Archimedes). He finally comes to the conclusion that he and all the animals have displaced the water from the full tube, and therefore. In this story, Archimedes wonders why the tub keeps overflowing.
Archimedes’ Bath by Pam Allen does not even try to be factual, but that is okay because the silly man taking a bath with his kangaroo, goat, wombat, etc., is amusing enough. If you are not familiar, the story goes that He treats the story as true, and the tale of golden crowns, lying jewlers, and a naked mathematician make it funny for the kids to listen to.
Although there is no direct proof of the story of Archimedes running through the streets naked yelling, “Eureka!”, Jim Weiss’ master storytelling abilities give the concept of water displacement a memorable context. Learning about the Greek scientist and mathematician Archimedes was a perfect segue into a kitchen table science lesson.Īrchimedes and the Golden Crown, an audiobook story written and narrated by Jim Weiss, is a retelling of the traditional story of Archimedes determining how to figure out the volume of an awkwardly shaped object.
As I hope is evident by my interest in providing my kids with engaging picture book lessons, I love it when reading time intersects with simple learning lessons, activities, crafts, and so forth.
