Vivi is a young girl who loves science and loves to experiment. In this STEM-themed Level 3 I Can Read! title, she and her friends visit the aquarium and learn about the concepts of density and buoyancy. The book is a great choice for aspiring scientists, emerging readers, and fans of Andrea Beatys Ada Twist, Scientist series. It includes activities, a glossary, and a fun experiment to do at home.

As Vivi and her classmates visit the aquarium, they are amazed by the variety of creatures living in the big display tank. They notice that some fish swim gracefully through the water, while others bury themselves in the sand. Vivi is curious and wants to know why some fish swim while others sink. She decides to experiment to find out.

The book explores the concepts of swimming, sinking, floating, and density. It explains how objects can float or sink depending on their density and how buoyancy can help objects stay afloat. Vivi learns that objects with a higher density than water will sink, while objects with a lower density than water will float. She also learns that the weight of an object can affect its density.

To experiment with density, Vivi and her classmates use a simple household item, such as a glass of water and a spoon. They observe how the spoon sinks to the bottom of the glass when placed in water and how it floats when placed on top of the water. They also experiment with different liquids, such as oil and syrup, to see how they affect the density of the water.

The book also includes a fun experiment to try at home. Vivi and her classmates can create their own mini aquarium using a clear plastic bottle and a few simple materials. They can add water, sand, and small fish to the bottle and observe how the water levels and the fish behave. This experiment helps them to understand the principles of density and buoyancy even more.

Overall, Vivi Loves Science is a fun and educational book that introduces young readers to the world of science. It is a great choice for aspiring scientists, emerging readers, and fans of Andrea Beatys Ada Twist, Scientist series. The book encourages curiosity, experimentation, and a love for learning, and it is sure to inspire young readers to pursue their own scientific interests.
