Buoyancy

Like swimming? But what is it that keeps us afloat? In this BrainPOP UK movie, you’ll discover the differences between positive, negative and neutral buoyancy. Discover how you keep afloat when you go swimming, and what density and displacement have to do with it. Plus in this educational, animated movie you’ll find out why an anchor inside a boat will float but, when it's dropped into the water it sinks! It’s all to do with density. Oh buoy!
