In this activity, learners explore how changes in fluid pressure affect the buoyancy of a Cartesian diver inside a plastic soda bottle.

Full of Hot Air: Hot Air Balloon Building
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Floating Head Cup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.
