As we worked to make progress on our underwater vehicles, we used math to compute buoyant forces of an object. We tested sample objects in our 200 gallon test tank to see if they would sink or float based solely on our calculations. In the afternoon, we assembled our thruster motors and waterproofed them using electrical tape, wax and plastic canisters. Slowly, the designs for our underwater vehicles are taking shape!
For two weeks in March, the entire Lawrence Academy community shifts its attention from the regular academic routine to intensive courses of study that are dedicated to experiential learning. In small groups of eight to sixteen, students and teachers plunge together into the world outside the classroom (LA-Website).
