Record where the water is. I suggest filling to an easy to remember spot, like 10 or 20mL. If you want to color the water you can certainly add a drop or two of food coloring. Then drop in a Shopkin. The Shopkin will displace water, which is a fancy way of saying it will move water out of the way. As the Shopkin sinks to the bottom the water level will rise since water is being pushed out of the Shopkins way.Once you added your Shopkin take a look at the water level on the graduated cylinder. It will have risen to a new level. If you subtract the two numbers you will get the volume of your Shopkin!If you don’t have a graduated cylinder and don’t want to buy one, you can still do this project. However, it will be a bit more difficult and much less accurate. You’ll need a small plate and a small cup. First, you want to weight your empty plate and zero the scale with the plate on top. Now, place a cup on top of the plate and fill it all the way to the brim, so that if you put another drop in, it will overflow into the plate.Now add in your Shopkin making the cup overflow into the plate. Remove the cup and Shopkin and take the scale reading of the plate. It should be more than zero now since when you added in the Shopkin water would have overflowed

Into the plate. You’re basically measuring the weight of the water. 1 gram of water (a weight), is equivalent to 1mL of water (a volume). Voila! By weighting the overflowed water you also measured the volume of your Shopkin!If you have a lot of Shopkins you can find the average volume by doing the same experiment above but adding in lots of Shopkins. Once you have your total volume you can divide that by the number of Shopkins you added into the water. Is the value similar to what you found for a single one?2. Organize a poll to graph your friends’ favorite ShopkinsThere are a lot of ways you can organize and graph your poll, but one of my favorites is to integrate the polling with the graphing. To do this you’ll need some double sided tape and a piece of paper. You will want to make a large grid on your paper, with enough columns so that each Shopkin in the poll has its own column. You can also download and print our grid.On the leftmost column of your grid, you will put in the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc going up. Now lay lines of double stick tape going vertically in each column. Stick a Shopkin at the 0 line, one in each column. As kids go around taking their poll they can move a Shopkin up in its column if selected.This lets kids actually see the process of data collection and how bar graphs

You likely have heard of Shopkins before. They are silly, cute, and ridiculously funny small plastic characters of food. Yes, food. Because any given Shopkin is just a plastic mold, Shopkins promote imaginative play. Kids can dream up the happenings of Shopville and play with one another.I for one am a huge fan of the imaginative play, although, to be honest, Shopkins has never really caught on in my house. Probably because I am so math and science-minded that I literally have no idea what to do with them when they are put in front of me – a fault in my own imagination that likely manifests in it being more difficult to think outside of the box.My kids, however, have no trouble creating elaborate relationships between each Shopkin. Drama can unfold in a heartbeat as one Shopkin changes a BFF, or decides to be salty instead of sweet.When it comes to teaching my kids science I am always trying to do it by secretly hiding it into what they are already playing with. Since they were enjoying their Shopkins I decided to dream up some science and engineering challenges that they could do while playing with their Shopkins.

Measure the volume of a Shopkin.Shopkins all have different shapes and sizes, so how could you measure the volume of a Shopkin? Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. A real cupcake, for example, takes up more space than Capella Cupcake. That is to say, it has a larger volume. But how do we find the volume of an object if we want to do more than compare relative sizes?We can use a cup of water. In reality, a graduated cylinder is a much better way to measure the volume in this activity, but if you don’t have one on hand you can use a cup of water. But a graduated cylinder set is less than $10 on Amazon, and there are a ton of other fun science projects you can do with them, like create density columns.If you have a graduated cylinder, fill it partway with water and
