Description
The understanding students’ conceptual background after the traditional teaching for studying static fluid is one of the most essential keys to design effective teaching activities. The conceptual understanding of 245 high school students in the topic of buoyant force act on the object in liquid was investigated by using 10 questions conceptual understanding test. The questions were divided into 2 groups. The questions asked to compare the buoyant force act on the objects which has different mass, volume and density in the same liquid (6 questions) and different liquid (4 questions) were observed. The results of the survey are reported in this study. Furthermore, conceptual misunderstanding held by students is also discussed.
