Science Club: How Objects Float

May 05, 2017
Science Club looked at how different objects were able to float. The super scientists discovered some different properties of materials and learnt how objects to float through concepts such as density, displacement and buoyancy. The challenge was to design a boat out of classroom materials that could hold as many cubes as possible. The winning design held over 100 cubes, before eventually sinking. The super scientists had great fun performing their experiment, but they did make a bit of a mess in the process!
