70% of our world is covered by oceans, lakes and rivers this means humans need to understand how water works and how to travel on and in it. Ships float due to buoyancy force. Buoyancy force has been known since ancient times and buoyancy technology has evolved from simple wooden rafts and sail boats to enormous oil tankers 400 meters (1280 ft) long.

This advance has been achieved through better engineering and advancements in materials technology. Overseas travel was triggered by the desire for trade of goods between neighboring and remote lands and developing vessels that could travel further, faster and more safely was paramount. Some of the greatest European explorers such as Magellan and de Gama are recognized for their historical discoveries and navigational achievements.

This Fluid Dynamics set includes plans for 5 different vessel models and their building instructions. In addition, the accompanying booklet includes 12 pages of theory and facts, 2 pages with experimental activities, a 2 page quiz along with 10 pages of step-by-step instructions. You can also view your builds using the free downloadable iOS and Android Engino app at Engino.com.
