A great story for children (or adults) who feel "dense" or stuck creatively. It shows how one simple mark can lead to a world of expression.
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Intelligence isn't just about knowing facts; it’s about persistence. 3. Narrative Denseness (Rich Detail)
Archimedes supposedly shouted "Eureka!" and proved the king had been cheated. 2. Intellectual Denseness (Cluelessness) denseness
Since gold is much denser than silver, a crown made of a gold-silver mix would have more volume (and displace more water) than a pure gold crown of the same weight.
A thirsty crow finds a pitcher of water, but the level is too low for his beak to reach. A great story for children (or adults) who
King Hiero II of Syracuse suspected his goldsmith had cheated him by mixing silver into a "pure gold" crown.
While stepping into a bathtub, Archimedes noticed the water level rose. He realized he could use water displacement to find the crown's volume. While stepping into a bathtub
Instead of giving up or being "dense" about the situation, the crow drops pebbles into the pitcher one by one. This raises the water level (an application of volume and displacement) until he can drink.
