Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Buoyancy is the upward force a fluid pushes on an object, and whether an object floats depends on how its density compares with the fluid it displaces. This worksheet teaches buoyancy and Archimedes’ principle with a diagram.
The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box defines eight terms and shows a block floating in water. Section A has eight clue-matching items. Section B on page 2 has four short-response questions.
Page 3 is a complete answer key. The worksheet pairs well with the Density and Forces worksheets.
