Comment on this resource
In this lesson, students will investigate the technological capabilities that are required for the operation of deep sea submersibles and understand the concept of buoyancy. As they proceed, they will research the development and use of research vessels or vehicles used for deep ocean exploration; calculate the density of objects by determining their mass and volume; and construct a device that exhibits neutral buoyancy.
