Floating and Sinking | Science Tech

 L.I: To test the buoyancy of different objects 

For science tech we tested different objects to see their buoyancy. Buoyancy means how objects float or sink. We used objects like a wooden block, plastic block and more. We used a water bucket, ruler, different balls, different blocks and a digital scale. First we tested a tennis. The tennis ball semi-floated which means the tennis ball sunk and floated. The next ball we tested was a table tennis. The results for that was that the table tennis floated. The next object was a big marble and a small marble. They both sunk. After that we tested a golf ball. The golf ball sunk as well. Then we test a plastic block. The plastic block semi-float. There were 4 different sizes of wood block.  They all semi-floated. The final object was the polystyrene. The polystyrene floated.

I had fun with the activity. I also got surprised on how the objects reacted to the water.
