Exploring Buoyancy

A large container filled with water.
Various objects (e.g., a piece of wood, a plastic bottle, a metal spoon, a rubber ball).
Notebooks and pencils..Introduce Buoyancy: Explain the concept of buoyancy and how it relates to whether objects float or sink.
Predict Outcomes: Have students predict which objects will float and which will sink.
Test Objects: Drop each object into the water and observe whether it floats or sinks.
Record Observations: Have students record their observations in their notebooks.
Discuss Results: Discuss why certain objects floated while others sank, relating it to the object’s density.
Conclusion: Have students write a brief conclusion about what they learned regarding buoyancy
