Buoyancy!

Today in class we started working on a new experiment! We are going to test out Buoyancy in a virtual lab like we did with viscosity. We also learned about Archimedes Principle. Archimedes was the man who discovered buoyancy. Archimedes Principle explains why a object will float or sink. If the object displaces an amount of water that weighs as much or more than the object, the object will float.
Today we just started on the experiment to test buoyancy. We aren't experts yet but soon we will be! If any of you would like to test buoyancy, here's the URL.
