Water
Supports Heavy Weights

Introduction
When you place a heavy object in water, it sinks. Only
wood and very light objects can float on the water. With
this in mind, how can heavy objects remain floating on
the surface of water.
In this project we
will study different mechanisms or factors that may keep
an object floating on the surface of water.

Material
and instructions
In this project we may
focus on two different types of floatation. First type deals
with heavy objects such as ships made from heavy steel. Second
type deals with small objects with higher density than water.
This is a display project, however if you would like to do it as
an experimental project you may start with the following
question:
What conditions may result in
the floatation of objects on water?
Materials that you may need
for this experiment can be found at home or obtained locally.
