Waka Buoyancy Science Worksheet
🌊 Part 1: Learn About Buoyancy
Buoyancy is an upward force from water or another liquid. It can help an object float. A waka floats because its wide, hollow hull pushes water aside. The water pushes upwards on the waka. The waka’s shape helps it carry people and taonga safely across the water.

Draw and label a simple waka. Include: waka, hull, water, and the upward force of buoyancy.
