Making Clay Float!


The tigers have been eagerly exploring forces. During this lab, we were trying to understand buoyancy and balanced forces. Students were given a piece of tinfoil and were asked to make it float, and carry a load.

 




We learned that keeping the structure balanced was key. We also learned that it was important to have edges.


We then had to take a piece of clay that does not float, and make it float!


This proved to be very challenging.

Real scientists record their observations!
