πŸ”¬πŸŒŸ STEAM Club Gets Hands-On with Cartesian Divers! πŸŒŸπŸ”¬

Our amazing after-school STEAM Club members at Shrewsbury Academy have been exploring the principles of buoyancy and the ideal gas law by making Cartesian divers from simple materials like drinking straws, paperclips, and recycled plastic bottles! πŸ§ƒπŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬

By experimenting with trapped air in the straw, the students discovered how the diver's buoyancy changes. When the bottle is squeezed, the water pressure increases, causing the air bubble to shrink, which makes the diver sink due to increased density. πŸš°πŸ”΅

It’s fantastic to see our students putting their scientific knowledge into practice, learning about Archimedes' principle and exploring physics in such a fun, hands-on way! πŸ‘
