Eureka! Buoyancy!!

The 4th grade heard a tantalizing tale about Archimedes and how he figured out the science of buoyancy! They also learned about how mass, volume, density, and salinity all affect an object's buoyancy! To test their knowledge, they built boats out of aluminum foil and we tested which boat could hold the most marbles! Ask your student how many marbles their boat could hold!

Taysean and Alex think they have it figured out!

Jaecobey and Cayden have developed an interesting theory for their boat!

Looks like Dillion, Cadey, and Gracie are going with bigger is better!

Maylisa, Coby, and Hope are testing the strength of their boat!
