By investigating floating and sinking of objects in water, I can apply my understanding of buoyancy to solve a practical challenge.

SCN 2-08b

Benchmarks:

· Explores the factors which affect floating, for example, the object’s shape and the density of the material that the object is made of, and collates, organises and summarises findings with assistance.

Bottle Diver Science Experiment – A Scuba Diver in a BottleThis experiment takes a few minutes to set up, but once done you can do the experiment over and over. My kids enjoyed taking turns making the scuba diver move up and down in the bottle.

Finding forces - Physics narrativeA Physics Narrative presents a storyline, showing a coherent path through a topic. The storyline developed here provides a series of coherent and rigorous explanations, while also providing insights into the teaching and learning challenges. It is aimed at teachers but at a level that could be used with students.

Finding forces - teaching and learning issuesThe Teaching and Learning Issues presented here explain the challenges faced in teaching a particular topic. The evidence for these challenges are based on: research carried out on the ways children think about the topic; analyses of thinking and learning research; research carried out into the teaching of the topics; and, good reflective practice. The challenges are presented with suggested solutions. There are also teaching tips which seek to distil some of the accumulated wisdom.

Finding forces - Teaching approacesA Teaching Approach is both a source of advice and an activity that respects both the physics narrative and the teaching and learning issues for a topic.
