In supposedly 20-20 vision history is neatly divided into different sections, distinct eras with sharp lines between them. What is present and in the future is always modern. What is past is something else with another name.

Yet time is not divided so neatly. We know this living through it: years and decades blend into one another in a non-uniform progression. To divide human history into separate eras is a necessary simplification, as it helps to ascribe order onto …

Hovering Potato ~ Activity Plan, Admin Stem For Success Jan 2023

Hovering Potato ~ Activity Plan, Admin Stem For Success

STEM for Success Showcase

This experiment is a great example of chemistry. This experiment relies heavily on density and diffusion.

  • Water is less dense than half of a potato. Therefore, the potato sinks.

  • Sugar water is more dense than half of a potato. Therefore, the potato floats.

By slowly adding water to sugar water, two layers are formed which allows the potato to hover in between. Slowly adding the water allows for diffusion to occur at a minimum.
