In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.
Buoyancy Bulls-Eye
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

Floating and Falling Flows
Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.
