FLOAT YOUR

BOATBy

George Bush


2/76

HYPOTHESIS:

I think that all of the boats will sink becauseclay is very thick and heavy, there will be

more density so it will sink.

QUESTION:

How does the shape of something effectits ability to make it float or sink?

4/76

Conclusions:

I thought that no matter which shape the clay was in, it would sink because of how

heavy and dense it was. I was surprised to find that the bowl and both of the boats

floated. So to answer my question; Yes, changing the shape of an object can indeedeffect its ability to float. To conclude, my hypothesis was wrong.

How does the shape of something effect

its ability to make it float or sink?

MATERIALS:

Ruler Molding ClayWater Journal

Marker Wax Paper

Scale Rolling Pin

PROCEDURE:

1.

Fill a container with 4 inches of water.

2.Using a scale, measure out 3 oz. of clay.


6/76

3.Mold the clay into different 3 oz. shapes (solid ball, hallow ball, raft, bowl,

open ended cylinder, a boat with short walls, and a boat with tall walls).

Rolling pin and wax paper can be used to help with this this step.

4.

Put each molded shape into the water.5.Tested for floatability.

Conclusions:
