F2-04: BUOYANCY - SPHERE AND WATER
Category: F2 Buoyancy
Purpose:
Challenge the students' thinking about the buoyant force by considering the question: "Will a round object, without a flat top and bottom surface, experience a buoyant force, as does a cylinder?"
F2-03: CARTESIAN DIVER - EXPLICIT VERSION
Category: F2 Buoyancy
