Johns Hopkins Science in a Bucket

This is a custom science kit developed for Johns Hopkins University. 

What can a bucket of water or lounging beneath a shade tree teach you about science? Archimedes discovered the principle of buoyancy in a bathtub, and Newton allegedly discovered gravity while sitting under an apple tree. While these tales of discovery may be more myth than fact, many significant scientific discoveries were made in non-laboratory settings. Investigate scientific principles utilizing only common household containers, covering the basics of chemistry, physical science, biology, and ecology through these vessels.

Examine buoyancy, wave formation, and soil suspensions and learn the principles behind lifting water with a screw and making a water clock. Simultaneously, learn about the scientific method, writing and following procedures, and how to effectively communicate your findings to others.
