Curated OER
What Floats Your Boat?
This open-ended boat building exercise is meant to be part of a three-lesson series on ships. Links to the other two lessons are included. This particular part is mostly a group lab activity in which they build a boat, find its load line...
Curated OER
What Floats Your Boat?
Young scholars explore the principles of buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle and design their own flotation device. They compare the dimensions of a model to the real object to determine scale and analyze the models to suggest improvements.
Curated OER
Float Your Boat
Young scholars design an experiment to find density using Archimedes' Principle. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate density using mass and volume. They share their findings in class.
Curated OER
Archimedes
Middle schoolers complete a webquest on the mathematication, Archimedes. In groups, they pick a topic of interest and design a hand-on experiment for their classmates. They present their material and model the experiment. They...
Curated OER
Boat Hull Design
Working in small groups learners develop three alternative boat designs. They discuss the rationale for the type of hull, propeller, location of ballast, and type of building material used in their design. They build their boat.
Curated OER
Cardboard Boat Challenge
Students build a boat out of cardboard and tape. They apply Archimedes' Principle to their design.
Curated OER
Ice Floats
Students explore the changing density of water. In this physics instructional activity, students investigate how an object's density determines whether it will float or sink in water. They explain why this unique property of is important...
