But the weight of the water should still be heavy enough to push it off right?

Hi everyone! This week we are starting weekly STEM activities. I will upload them to the blog every Tuesday. I will use materials that people will have at home so you can try them out yourselves. We would love to see you recreate the experiments. You can show us by sending pictures in! I want to get you thinking during these activities, so I won’t be giving you the explanation to the experiments straight away.
