Float a Boat!

Webb and Bill explore the concept of floating and sinking by building and testing canoes made from aluminum foil. They explain how displacement allows objects to float and demonstrate this by filling their canoes with marbles until they sink. The video concludes with a discussion on why the canoes sank, emphasizing the relationship between the weight of the displaced water and the object.

What happened to the canoes when they were filled with marbles?
