Lots of Rear Ends

Good story for helping introduce the concept, but there were a lot of naked bums. No clothes on ol' Mr. Archimedes. It was a bit too distracting for my class.

Perfect for a Lesson Plan Demo

Perfect Condition. All about water displacement and great for the kindergarten first grade level!

Mr. Archimedes Bath - great teaching tool

I chose this book to read to my preschool class during our summer school water theme. The story teaches about displacement, measurement, and making hypotheses. It is an entertaining and informative story based on fact.

Great book for elementary teachers!

I use this book when teaching about cause and effect or water displacement. It's a great book to get the ball rolling.

A great start for early water science

A well told, well illustrated, children's book that explores the concepts of mass and water depth. Mr Archimedes is puzzled at why his bath overflows when he has a soak with his animal friends. After eliminating each animal as the cause of his wet floor, "Eureka" Mr Archimedes discovers the answer. A fantastic book. Highly recommended.

Eureka!

By the author of 'Who Sank The Boat?' This is a fun way of learning about Archimedes Principle. He hops in and out of a bath with, variously a kangaroo, goat and wombat, examining the water level each time, and trying to understand why when ALL the friends are in the bath it always overflows.Well illustrated. And, yes, he shouts "EUREKA!"
