Day 2  Chap 31   Moss; Dulse    Experiment; HOD Unit 4, Day 5

     How do fish and seaweed float?

We basically filled up a little bowl with water. Then we placed a medicine dropper (our was plastic and we have a bunch we use for art, crafts, painting, etc.) in the bowl, with it partially filled with water. Then we placed it with it filled with much water. Finally, we didn't put any water in it. This was showing how an air sac in seaweed works.
