It was easy to see that this Steve Spangler session at the NAEYC 2006 Conference was going to be a little different. The stage was filled with the usual Spangler stuff… a vacuum cleaner, eggs, a saw, bowling balls, toilet paper rolls, giant bags, an aquarium of water, a violin bow, plenty of Alka-Seltzer, potatoes, Diet Coke and, of course, Mentos. Even before Bobbi finished the introduction, there were Mentos Geysers erupting and people running!

My thanks to everyone who attended my session at the NAEYC 2006 conference in Atlanta, Georgia. You’ll find links to the experiments and activities that I shared during the session as well as a few favorites that didn’t make it into the list of 20 Cool Science Activities Under $20.

Some of my television segments get more email feedback than others… and this one got a ton. Why? Probably because most people don’t know that you can make a standard, regulation size bowling ball float in water. Yes, you can make a bowling ball float! Plug the drain, fill the sink with water, and take the plunge with this floating science challenge.

See the Floating Bowling Ball video.
