What Floats your Boat?

This activity will enhance your knowledge of buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle and your ability to communicate.

Wednesday, you did a simple lab where you had to make a chunk of clay float. Briefly respond to the following questions on your blog:
  • What happened when the clay was initially dropped in the water?
  • What data did you collect?
  • How were you able to make the clay float?
  • How do the data support why your boat floated?
  • Whose principal did you demonstrate?

Next you will try some interactive sights related to buoyancy. Try these out and also post a link to them on your blog & rate each 1-5 stars.
