This week, the P7s have been building their boats which they designed. The theme of this experiment is buoyancy. We have learned that buoyancy is an upwards force which is the opposite of gravity. How buoyant something is is not to do with the weight of something, but how dense the material it is made of is.
With this experiment the children have been given a set range of materials and they have to build a vessel which is buoyant and can then hold a load.
Let’s see who can stay buoyant the longest!
