Why does diet soda float but regular soda sinks? 🥫
explains how only one soda can floats, even though it shares the same volume as another! This is because a can of diet soda will have slightly different ingredients than a regular can of soda, such as aspartame instead of corn syrup. This changes the weight of each can, with one having the same density as water which makes it float!

Excellent point about the importance of learning doubles facts (1+1, 2+2… 7+7, etc)

We’ve been conditioned to believe that learning only counts if it looks like school.
✅ Filling out a worksheet = Proof of learning!
❌ Building a LEGO city with an understanding of balance, structure, and design = Just playing.
✅ Passing a test with memorized dates = Educated!
❌ Explaining history in depth after months of passionate research = Not real learning.
The deepest, most meaningful learning doesn’t happen in worksheets or tests… it happens in real life.
Your child’s knowledge isn’t less valuable just because it wasn’t dictated by a curriculum. Learning doesn’t need a score to be real.
That’s why at .us, we’ve revolutionized the way learning is happening and assessed. Our kids follow a self-directed learning path that leads to the most incredible, unique outcomes. We are still enrolling for 26-27. Comment BRIDGE for more info 👇
Fun experiment to try at home! Great point and lesson at the end 👩🏻🔬
