Why NASA Put The Moon In A Pool
NASA has been using swimming pools to train astronauts since the 1960s. The largest is the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL), which holds roughly 9 olympic pools worth of water and has contained not just mockups of space station and...

TED-Ed: Are ghost ships real? - Peter B. Campbell
In 1884, the British steamer “Rumney” crashed into the French ship “Frigorifique.” Seeing their ship filling with water, the French crew climbed aboard the “Rumney.” But as they sailed towards port, a silent form emerged from the fog –...

Archimedes Principle: Explained in Really Simple Words
Archimedes principle states that if an object is submerged in a fluid, then the buoyant force acting on it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. Buoyant force exists because pressure increases as an object goes...

Cartesian Diver
We make a Cartesian diver using a drinking straw and sticky tack. When the diver is placed in a sealed bottle of water it can be controlled by squeezing and releasing the bottle, which makes it rise and fall within the water. Physics -...
