Exploring Water and Buoyancy
Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull, sails, dowels, and foam blocks. Students will apply problem-solving skills and creativity to design and modify the kit boat to achieve a specific goal of having it float and sail in water.
Students will also collaborate and communicate effectively with peers during the design and testing process.
