Here’s how to make a model submarine (潜水艇) that dives and comes up from underwater like a real one.
You’ll need Plastic bottle; Tape(胶带); Four coins; Thin rubber or plastic tube(管子); Waterproof modeling clay(防水黏土)—not real clay, which dissolves(溶解) in water; Small scissors; Tub(盆).
You’ll follow 1. Cut two small holes on one side of the bottle. Tape coins to that side of the bottle. Remove cap; seal (密封) the tube to the bottle with clay. 2. Fill tub with water; put bottle in and let it fill with water. 3. Gently blow into the tube and watch what happens. Stop blowing and close the tube with your thumb. Lift your thumb and watch what happens.
You’ll see When you blow, air pushes out water; the bottle becomes lighter and comes up. Bottle sinks when it fills with water and coins weight it down. Coins keep holes pointing downward, so air does not escape. When you stop blowing and seal the tube with your thumb, the bottle floats. Lift your thumb, air escapes through the tube and the bottle sinks. A real submarine works this way, by filling tanks with air or water.

Here’s how to make a model submarine (潜水艇) that dives and comes up from underwater like a real one.
You’ll need Plastic bottle; Tape(胶带); Four coins; Thin rubber or plastic tube(管子); Waterproof modeling clay(防水黏土)—not real clay, which dissolves(溶解) in water; Small scissors; Tub(盆).
You’ll follow 1. Cut two small holes on one side of the bottle. Tape coins to that side of the bottle. Remove cap; seal (密封) the tube to the bottle with clay. 2. Fill tub with water; put bottle in and let it fill with water. 3. Gently blow into the tube and watch what happens. Stop blowing and close the tube with your thumb. Lift your thumb and watch what happens.
You’ll see When you blow, air pushes out water; the bottle becomes lighter and comes up. Bottle sinks when it fills with water and coins weight it down. Coins keep holes pointing downward, so air does not escape. When you stop blowing and seal the tube with your thumb, the bottle floats. Lift your thumb, air escapes through the tube and the bottle sinks. A real submarine works this way, by filling tanks with air or water.
