This week we used LEGOs to build a submarine! This project was a fun way to introduce us to structural engineering. Behind this underwater mission was an understanding of buoyancy and pressure. Our submarines were fantastic!

This project included:

• Brainstorming ideas on which LEGO pieces are needed to build our submarines
• Demonstrating buoyancy with a water activity
• Discussing what makes things buoyant

Family Activity:

Class is always great with you here! Stay tuned for next week’s transition from making a splash with structural engineering to a mechanical fork lift powered by the sun! We are pretty excited about this one! See you there!
