Lab/activity 3: Force Buoyancy Lab

This lab will let you determine the factors and relationship for the force of buoyancy on an object. You will be testing the effect of mass, volume, fluid type, and planet on the force of buoyancy experienced by an object in water.

Fluids → Buoyancy

Using the buoyancy simulation, create each of the scenarios below. Then explain the relationship between the density of the solid and the density of the object. Draw free-body diagrams for each scenario.

Scenario 1: Sold object is floating on the surface of the liquid
Scenario 2: Sold object is sinking in the liquid
Scenario 3: Sold object is rising in the liquid
Scenario 4: Sold object is floating within the volume of the liquid

DensityWhy do objects like wood float in water? Does it depend on size? Create a custom object to explore the effects of mass and volume on density. Can you discover the relationship? Use the scale to measure the mass of an object, then hold the object under water to measure its volume. Can you identify all the mystery objects?

BuoyancyWhen will objects float and when will they sink? Learn how buoyancy works with blocks. Arrows show the applied forces, and you can modify the properties of the blocks and the fluid.
