Why heavy metal ships don’t sink? This program will help kids to understand the Bernoulli Principle that allows heavy ship float and carry cargo over the water. Participants will have an opportunity to test many objects to find out their buoyance and then design and make an aluminum boat to see the Bernoulli principle in action. Registration required, contact the visitor’s center.
