STEM CHALLENGE BUILD A RAFT THAT FLOATS!
This is a fun stem challenge that I call "Escape the Island" Students will design and build a raft from mostly materials they find outside. If they can get their raft to move from one end of a Rubbermaid bin to the other by blowing on the sail and it floats for 15 minutes they win. This activity is a lot of fun and does not require the teacher to purchase a lot of materials.
Here is what is in the packet:
1. Directions for the STEM challenge
2. 2 prototype worksheets

Archimedes' Principle Reader's Theater - Buoyant Force
Ever wonder why a boat floats? Ever wonder how to find the volume of an irregular-shaped object? Archimedes' Principle helps us to understand this. The story about how Archimedes formed his principle has to do with figuring out if his king's crown was really made of gold. This reader's theater will make learning about the story of Archimedes' Principle fun and engaging for your students. This Word Document is editable for you to tailor it to your class.

Submarine Density and Buoyancy Investigation
The submarine was an incredible technological innovation during the Civil War. It is important for a submarine to not float on top of the water or sink to the bottom. It must be “neutrally buoyant”. For this project students use a baby food jar as model of a submarine to find the mass to volume ratio that will float, sink and stay neutrally buoyant.
Learning Targets:
I can make a model of a submarine.
I can explain buoyancy.
I can explain density.
I can measure mass and volume.
