We are excited to share a range of virtual resources and experiences to connect you with Voyage to the Deep — from home!
MPM Exhibit Connection

Family Resources
Dive Into Density
Try this at-home experiment! If you want to take your own "voyage to the deep," you’ll need to know about buoyancy. Use this activity to explore how density determines whether an object will sink or float.
Carrot Submarine
Get to the root of how submarines work with this easy experiment you can tackle right in your own kitchen. All it takes are a few simple items from the pantry (a carrot, some toothpicks, and baking soda) and a little water to reveal the fascinating science behind how submarines use ballast to create just the right amount of buoyancy!
