Have you ever wondered… how to float a tank?

Running every Saturday and Sunday, get stuck into some hands-on science with our first “have you ever wondered” activity. Learn how they floated a 30 ton tank in WWII, and try it for yourself on a miniature scale. Fun and educational, perfect for the budding scientist or engineer.
