Buoyancy of Boat

Buoyancy of Boat
Description: We want to investigate the relationship between the shape of boats and buoyancy. Firstly, we design three different shapes of boats and print them out using a 3D printer. And then, we make sure that they are the same weight. In the experiment, we prepare an electronic scale, beaker, measuring cup, and marbles. We put the marbles into the boats, we can measure their maximum buoyancy when the water flows out from the measuring cup. Finally, we can compare the maximum buoyancy of the different shapes of boats.
