How Low Can You Go?

Land is becoming scarce. With the diminishing amount of viable land available for humans, animals, and vegetation, we must start exploring other options as populations expand. You will investigate the thousands of miles of land below sea-level and create a structure to withstand applied pressure, imitating the pressure felt in deep water.

Students attempt to avoid an "egg-splosion" by creating a model to withstand the pressure felt by objects as if they are at varying depths below sea-level.
