  This series is designed to introduce children to the technology around them in a way that is both informative and enjoyable. Step-by-step instructions and illustrations show children how to make their own simple models, and the text encourages them to investigate the scientific principles that make these models work. The books are relevant to the National Curriculum and contain notes for parents and teachers. This book introduces the basic scientific principles of floating and sinking through a series of model-making activities and experiments. Children are encouraged to investigate different boat designs and experiment with the various sails, paddles and propellers which make them move. There is also work on the animals and plants that live in water. The various projects aim to encourage children to extend design skills and at the same time learn about the science of water.
