We have been learning about objects that float and sink. We found this short video to help us connect these ideas to pictures and familiar objects. While students in grade 2 don't need to know the specific information about density, mass, and volume, we do need to understand the following information: 1. Describe, classify and order materials on the basis of their buoyancy. 2. Alter or add to a floating objects so it will sink, and alter or add to a nonfloating object so that it will float. 3. Design and watercraft and use appropriate design methods to have the craft float. Click on the button below to watch the buoyancy video to learn more. Through the video link above, our science centre field trip, the science experiments at school, and our research will all lead us to creating our own objects that we hope will float.
We look forward to sharing our floating objects will you at a later date! Comments are closed.
