Objects like boats float, even if the metal that makes up their hull is heavier than water, because of a force called buoyancy. That means the water pushes up against them. You can feel this force by holding a block ... Floating is like a pushing contest between the water and objects in the water. ... That changed its density.

Tell students that they will be investigating these hypotheses throughout the unit to help them design boats. Review student journals to assess prior knowledge students have about buoyancy and density. Differentiate instruction based on student hypotheses.

The principle of floating is pretty easy, however, if you want to remain inside the boat and actually get where you want to go, your boat must have "stability" as well as being able to float. Stability means that it is designed not to tip over easily. ... Find out why some boats ride through the water and some ride on top.
