Submarine: Soda Cup Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Submarine: Lift Bag Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

Build a Raft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.

Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.
