Laboratory
Experiment: Yellow Money

This picture was taken by one of the SEED experts. All you need is a lemon (a lime will do, as well), a glass of water, and some coins.

The idea of the game is to place a coin on top of a lemon that is floating in a glass of water. If the coin stays up there for five seconds or more, you win. If it slips off sooner than that, you lose. Do you think it’s easy to win?

Make a prediction; then try it for yourself. What did you predict? What happened? What’s your explanation of what happened?

Check our results and compare with yours.

Buoyancy Experiment

Objects weigh less when submerged in liquids. Explore how some liquids are more buoyant than others. There is also a page of information for those who want to dig deeper into this topic.

Buoyancy Explorer

Does it float or sink? Use this virtual experiment to try different solids and liquids. There is also a page of information for those who want to dig deeper into this topic.

Cartesian Diver

A diver wears a belt with heavy metal weights so as to sink, and a buoyancy compensator, which may be inflated with air to increase buoyancy or deflated to reduce buoyancy. Here's an experiment to help you see how this works.

Floating and Stability

A sailboat tips over a little when the wind blows, but it returns to an upright position when the wind dies down. Why does it do that? There is also a page of information for those who want to dig deeper into this topic.

Yellow Money

The idea of this game is to place a coin on top of a lemon that is floating in a glass of water. How long will the coin "ride" on top of the lemon?
