Lets look at some pictures to understand why some things float and why other sink.
Pay attention to Gravity (G)Buoyant force (B)

Main ConceptBuoyant force pushes things out of
water. Gravity causes things to sink. Which ever forces is greater wins.
Buoyant force equals the weight of water that is displaced.
![Page 10: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Students will be able to describe a means to make a material that is denser than water (modeling clay) float.
Students will be able to describe the parallels between the design process used to create a dense but floatable object, and the scientific method of inquiry.
CLAY BOATS: Objectives
![Page 11: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
120 grams clay exactly (weigh using scale)
One plastic container to fill ¾ with water
Assorted weights (5gram, 10gram, 20 gram, 100 gram, …) Located in yellow plastic organizer.
Wax paperMasking Tape (white tape)
CLAY BOATS: Materials
![Page 12: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Get into groups that you were in for the density lab.
Obtain all materials listed on the previous slide.
Will the modeling clay float or sink?Make a ball of clay and put it in
the water.
CLAY BOATS: INTRO
![Page 13: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Part 1: 5-10 minutesTape wax paper onto the table to
create a clean work station. Do not assume that a boat shape is
ideal. Measure out 120 grams of clay and
place the lid tightly back on the container.
Make sure you dry the clay with paper towel after you test your boat.
CLAY BOATS: Create an object that will Float
![Page 14: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Part 2: 15-20 minutesRedesign you boat so that it
carries the largest load possible. Make sure your boat does not get to wet. Water will cause the clay to get soft.
Use the weights in the yellow organizing container as your load. Start out with a small load and see how much it can carry.
CLAY BOATS: Design a boat that can carry the heaviest load.
![Page 15: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If you need more precise masses (smaller) use the washers.
If using washers you will need to weigh your total mass using an electronic scale.
When satisfied with your boat leave it to dry overnight on the front table.

Follow the instructions on the Buoyant Boats handout.
Answer all questions and record all results in a table on the back of the paper.
You will need to make your own table.
BUOYANT BOATS: Procedure
![Page 20: Contributed by: Engineering K-Ph.D. Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f0d5503460f94c21862/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What was the question being asked in this experiment?
How did the mass of the displaced water compare to the mass of the lump of clay?
When you repeated the experiment with other amounts of clay did you get similar results?
Assessment:

Introduction

Flat bottom boat will likely be the best for a clay boat.
Flat hulls are faster but rougher ride. (bass boat). Also allow you to go in shallower waters.
Deep v hulls are slower but cut through the waves giving a smoother ride. (salt water boats and cruisers)

Write a paragraph that explains why the three objects do not float in water in quite the same ways.
Write a paragraph that explains why a lump of clay will sink in water, but the same volume of clay, when shaped like a bowl, will float in water.
