Mr Achimedes Bath by Pamela Allen

After lunch today we read Mr Achimedes bath by Pamela Allen.
We enjoyed this book because it was funny. It was about Mr Achimedes, a kangaroo, a wombat and a goat having a bath. Everytime they all hop in the water overflows and they try to figure out who it is making all of the water overflow. They find out it is all of them making the water rise when they hop into the bath and make it go lower when they get out.
We wanted to see how this worked so we did our own experiment using a plastic container, water and rocks from our nature table.
We discovered that when an object is placed into water it disperses the volume of water equal to its own volume.
