This was used as an activity for my after school science club. This kids LOVED Squidy! They enjoyed learning about buoyancy and watching Squidy dive and float. Each student brought in a 2 liter bottle and made their own Squidy to take home. One of their favorite activities!

As part of our arctic/polar unit we learned that penguins eat shrimp, fish, and squid...EXPERIMENT!!! The kids loved learning about buoyancy with these fun glow-in-the-dark critters. The step-by-step directions were easy to follow with my 21 third graders! Thanks for another great lesson!
