Essential Science for Teachers: Rising and Sinking
Session 6 of this video series targeting K-6 teachers focuses on buoyant force and Archimedes' principle. Includes "Children's Ideas" (a test of common misconceptions) and "Lesson and Curriculum."
For teachers not very familiar with buoyant forces, this resource might serve as a more palatable introduction. Also, some resources presented might be adapted for high school physics.
