Floating and Sinking – Lesson 1

  • Date November 26, 2020
Grade 5: Science (2020 – 2021) Floating and Sinking – Lesson 1

Grade: 5
Subject: Science
Date: September 28, 2020
Topic: Sink and Float
 
 

Content:  
Any object placed in water has two forces acting on it.
One is the force of gravity that pulls it downwards.
The other is the force of the water pushing it upwards.
The more water pushed away by an object, 
the harder the water pushes back.
When the downward pull of gravity on an object 
(its weight) is equal to the upward force of the water 
pushing back on the object, the object floats.
When the downward pull of gravity on an object (its weight)
 is greater than the upward force of the water 
pushing back on the object, the object sinks.
