The ocean floor is one of the most mysterious and least explored places on Earth. It is very important and beautiful in many ways, including ecological, scientific, and aesthetic aspects.
Life at the bottom of the sea is diverse. It ranges from creatures that glow in the dark to magnificent and mysterious giants like colossal squids and whales. Marine fauna is fascinating and varied. Exploring and understanding the ocean floor is essential not only for scientific knowledge, but also for preserving the biodiversity and natural resources it offers. Moreover, the beauty and mystery of the ocean floor continue to inspire curiosity and admiration, emphasizing the need for its conservation for future generations.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
SUBMARINE
It is a vehicle that can navigate underwater. It is used to explore the oceans, carry out research, military missions, or rescues. Unlike boats, submarines can sink and rise in the water with the help of tanks that fill or empty with air and water. They move with the help of propellers and can stay submerged for long periods.
BUILD
As a team, build a prototype of a Submarine. Use the pieces available in the structural robotics technology kit. Carefully follow each step of the assembly and testing process. All team members must actively participate and contribute ideas and solutions.
CONTINUE
After building the prototype, share your experience with your classmates.
- Does the model look like a submarine?
- Did you identify any auxiliary pieces in the build? Are they being used for finishing, spacing, or just connection?
- Which piece was used the most in building the propeller?
Then, store all the materials used.
