G3|Pudong Campus: Float or Sink?

September 11, 2023

On Thursday, September 7, the 3rd graders on Pudong campus explored the secret of buoyancy.

At the beginning of the science class, the teacher introduced the definition of buoyancy and density, then the students started the fun and engaging experiment.

The students put fruits into the water by order of density, and recorded every result. When a boy put the apple into the water, all the students were surprised by the fact that the apple was floating in the water. After that, when a blueberry sank to the bottom, every student realized that buoyancy is not just related to the quantity, but also to the density and area.

This class culminated with a delicious fruit snack. Learning from the fun activities is always the most enjoyable way to learn!
