Science

  • The child learned the meaning of the words buoyancy and density.
  • They tested themselves by experimenting with different objects to determine if they float or sink.
  • The child completed 5 challenges related to buoyancy and density.
  • They also learned the meaning of the word displacement.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore further experiments with buoyancy and density. They can try creating their own objects using different materials and seeing how it affects their ability to float or sink. Additionally, they can research real-life examples of buoyancy and density, such as how boats float or why some objects sink in water.
