International Bath Day

On June 14th, we celebrate International Bath Day by filling up a lovely bath for your children. Bath time is a great time to explore and learn. They will immediately begin to test the waves of their water lab with just a few bath toys or simple plastic cups. With recent bath time discoveries, watch and see how every child becomes a little scientist.

History of the international bath day has influenced international bath day events

Legend has it that Greek mathematician, scientist, and scholar, Archimedes discovered while bathing in water that an object's volume could be accurately measured by being submerged in water on this day. Archimedes burst out of the bathtub and yelled, "Eureka, Euka!" as he walked through Syracuse, Greece, Greece. Archimedes' birth date is unknown, but no one knows the exact date of his birth. However, we do know he was born in the year 287BC. We commemorate Archimedes' birthday and the date he leapt out of the bathtub on June 14th.

How was this date determined? It was precisely one week before the start of summer, according to the ancient Greek myth. The Greeks used an astronomical calendar to determine the seasons based on the Earth's rotational axis' tilt in relation to its orbit around the sun's 23.5 degrees. On June 21st, Summer began (then and today) on June 21st. This was the week before, and the date was set.
