This project aims to provide students with a hands-on introduction to the basic principles of pressure, buoyancy, and density and how they relate to floating and sinking by conducting an experiment to observe the objects behaviour in water. Additionally, the experimentation, data gathering, analysis and presentation aspects of the project will help students develop research, analytical, and presentation skills.
A research project to give students before embarking upon the unit, or to run along-side the unit as independent learning. Although this was designed for those studying the Exploring Science curriculum, they can be used alongside other curriculums also.
Giving the pupils this project before teaching the unit can help them gain a better understanding of the material and can help them become more engaged in the learning process. It can also help them develop critical thinking skills and can help them become more independent learners.
