  1. This is a thoughtful experiment. You did a great job comparing how bottle size affects buoyancy, and your data supports your conclusion nicely. I especially like how you explained your reasoning and reflected on limitations. That’s strong scientific thinking. Keep exploring and building on this great work!

  2. I really liked how you used two different bottle sizes to clearly test how buoyancy works in water. Your experiment showed a clear difference between the small and large bottles, and it was great to see you reflect on how you could improve the measurements next time.
