Buoyancy Misconceptions

I was recently reading the November/December 2024 issue of "Science and Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "Early Years" column, written by Alissa A. Lange. She wrote an article entitled, "Deconstructing Common Misconceptions in Early Science." Misconceptions are common in science—even into adulthood. Instead of feeling guilty when we discover our misconceptions, what if we, as adults, turn this feeling into curiosity? What if we help our students to do the same?
