Students are encouraged investigate how they could change the volume of the buzzer or...
Physics in Sport: Rowing
In this activity, students must hollow out a cucumber to use as a model rowing boat. By adding weights to the boat they can learn about buoyancy and upthrust. They add modelling clay rowers to the boats and can then compete to see if their rowing boat will make it across a large container of water without sinking...
