Re: A TRUE/FALSE question for your kids



where was the rock before it was dropped into the water?


A boat is floating in a small swimming pool and the occupant drops a large
rock into the water. Will the level of water in the pool rise, fall or
remain the same?

Does it matter if the rock is sitting in the bottom of the boat or is
suspended over the side, hanging from the anchor rope??

Think about it.
