Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how the density of an object determines how well it floats.

Show transcript
The whole of an object is floating on water if part of it is above the surface. How well an object floats in a liquid does not depend on the depth of the liquid. An object floats in water if its shape can push its own mass of water out of the way without going under.
