Back to: Basic Science Primary 2
Hello children, welcome back to class
At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
- Understand the word “float”
- Identify objects that float on water
- Demonstrate how to make objects float on water
Some objects float on water. That is, they stay on the surface of water. Objects that float on water are light. For an object to float on water, the weight of the object must be less than or equal to the weight of water where the objects in placed on. In some cases, objects that float are hollow inside or are filled with air.
Examples of objects that float on water
Paper boat Pencil
Plastic spoon Plastic ball
Closed plastic bottle Match Stick
