Looking for an engaging activity geared toward your child/ren during this social distancing, and/or first time navigating schooling at home? Come join Hamilton County 4-H Extension for a science lesson around Ag Literacy TOMORROW (Tuesday, March 24, 2020) morning at 10 AM! We will be hosting a Zoom meeting where we would love to have you participate with us! The lesson will be approximately 30 minutes and is geared toward 8-12 year olds. Younger kids may join as well! They may just need some help from a grown up.

We are going to solve this mystery: Will it sink or float? Make a prediction and test your prediction. Draw some conclusions. Why do some objects sink? Why do some objects float? It has to do with the science of density and buoyancy. Come do science experiments together!

You will need to follow a couple different simple steps to participate.
