Project Kit for Kids: Inventions in Boats

Can you imagine life without boats and ships? Life would certainly be different. Experiment with the power of water and recreate the history of how boats were made. Learn about floatation, buoyancy, stability and speed. Navigate a working submarine. Construct a raft, sailboat, and a gliding hovercraft. Race boats to find out which hull design achieve the most speed. Here's a puzzling thought, without navigating through the oceans, the great voyages of discovery could hardly have taken place - Columbus, Magellan and the rest. The history of the world might have been quite different.
