Kids won't believe it . . . concrete that floats!

Children will be amazed that something they thought of as "heavy" can actually float. Enrich a whole classroom, or just your own child, with an experiment that improves math and science skills while promoting your industry. The Floating Concrete Kit not only provides a valuable learning experience for kids, but it's a great way to introduce potential future leaders to the construction industry.

The Floating Concrete Kit provides kids with all the ingredients necessary (cement, sand, vermiculite and mixing containers) to make two different concrete samples: one that floats and a conventional mix that doesn't.

They'll get hands-on learning as they mix concrete ingredients, weigh samples daily, plot unit weights on graphs and compare both mixtures. The kit also comes with easy-to-follow instructions and a teacher's or leader's guide that provides questions, answers and discussion topics

It's fun. It's easy. It's Educational… And can be used in one of two settings:

  • One-on-one - get single copies to work one-on-one with your child at home . . . mixing, creating, learning.
  • Group activity - get multiple copies for use in the classroom, science or math club.

Promote your industry, profession or company by sponsoring a Career Day or scouting event. Simply purchase the kits in bulk and send an industry representative (contractor, engineer, etc.) to "teach the class."
