Sinking

PRODUCT SUMMARY

For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- In Sinking, a giant wave overtakes the Mammoth Ferry on its maiden voyage, and all of the ship’s cargo is swept overboard! An enterprising young islander, Olive, watches her cousin, Troy, attempt to retrieve the sunken cargo and notices air bubbles rising to the surface around him. Olive uses these bubbles as a cue and, with the help of a visiting inventor, designs a vehicle called a submersible that allows them to sink to the ocean floor and then rise back to the surface. Before long, Olive retrieves the lost cargo and saves the day! Part of the multivolume series The Way Things Work, based on the best-selling book by David Macaulay. Includes a Teacher's Guide.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"The series is humorous, informative and very educational. Explanations are clear and relevant, with neccesary diagrams to explain exactly how things work...These are exceptional physics videos that merit a place in all educational collections."- School Library Journal (August 2003)
