Room 10 RBS

This week in maths we were looking at capacity. After doing an experiment on Tuesday looking at how the water level in a container rises when you put heavy objects in it we looked at what happened to a FULL container of water when you put heavy objects in it. We had been talking about Mr Achimede’s Bath and thought we’d try it out for ourselves.

Mr Archimede's Bath

However, a very strange thing happened … check out the video to see what happened.

We still haven’t figured out why the water rose ABOVE the top of the container … maybe YOU can help us.
