Buoyancy

Q: Which objects do you think will float in

water?
Q: Which objects do you think will sin in
water?
Q: What is buoyancy?

Buoyancy is the ability of an object to

float in water.
Q: Why do you think some objects float in
water and other objects sink?
Q: Will a large heavy log float in water?

Yes
Q: Why does it float even though its heavy?

An object floats when it is less dense

than water. This means that the
particles in the log, for example, are
farther apart than the particles in
water.
An object that has a greater density
than water, such as a brick, will sink.
