Float Your Boat Part III

by jbirdmarketing | Apr 24, 2023

Use Play-Doh to explore why objects float or sink! ⛵️ This week we are changing the shape of our objects to see how it affects buoyancy. You’ll notice that mass, the quantity of matter in an object, is not the only factor that matters!

🎉 Celebrating Our April Volunteer of the Month: 🎉 Celebrating Our April Volunteer of the Month: Neely!“My name is Neely! I am a senior at the University of Tennessee, I am about to graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing. I have spent around 120 hours over the last couple of years volunteering with Muse. I have absolutely loved every second I have spent with the children! I have done classes, camps, exhibit support, you name it- I've done it! I think my favorite experience at Muse has been spending time this past February at the Emergency Childcare Camps due to snow. They were SO FUN! Thank you again to Muse for an amazing experience!”Thank you, Neely, for sharing your time, kindness, and enthusiasm with the children and families at Muse Knoxville 💙
