Investigating Buoyancy, Density, and Fluid Principles: Making a Mini-Submarine

This activity is a lab where students design an experiment to construct a self-powered mini-submarine that stays underwater for at least 10 seconds, and then float back up to the top of the water level. Buoyancy and density are applied and discussed.
