Why does a huge boat float — while a small stone sinks? 🚤

It comes down to forces, pressure and upthrust.

In this short AQA GCSE Physics explanation, I use a real boat to show how the upward buoyant force relates to the weight of fluid displaced — and why a floating boat is in equilibrium.

Save this for GCSE Physics revision and share it with someone studying forces.

After more than 30 years in education, including working as an International Headteacher, I’ve learned that students rarely struggle because they are simply “bad at Maths”.

More often, there are gaps in students understanding that have accumulated over time.

One of the most satisfying parts of one-to-one tuition is finding that missing piece and watching the student’s confidence change and grow.

I’m currently taking enquiries for personalised online GCSE, iGCSE and A Level Maths and Physics tuition.

I offer a free trial because I want the student and parent to decide whether I’m the right tutor before committing.
