Let’s build a boat!
Abstract
From the belief that sciences should be taught at school through experimental practices, this study presents a project done with fifth grade students from the school Col·legi Maria Janer with the purpose of them understanding the Archimedes’ Principle in a completely experimental way. Starting from the question “can we build a boat?”, set by the teacher, and with the previous implementation of various experiments, students have designed and build a boat that is able to carry one pupil.Keywords
