Find out the volume of any object, even the most intricate shape, by immersing it in a liquid. Count all the grains of sand in the universe. And even to turn the Earth - there would be only a "fulcrum". The great ancient Greek mechanic, mathematician and physicist Archimedes knew how to do it all. This story is about him, about the time in which he lived, and about the amazing mechanisms he invented, which we still use every day.
For elementary school age.
