Groups of young oceanographers get to use action figures to experiment with the property of buoyancy! This memorable lesson plan provides detailed background information, a link to the laboratory worksheet, and thorough instruction prior to the group activity. It can also be used with younger learners if you leave out the discussion about balancing the forces that act on objects in water.
