Why do ships and vessels float? How would you go about designing and building your own ship?
To support our naval families, we have teamed up with Raytheon UK and its STEM Ambassadors to bring you some great activities to answer these questions and more.
We've produced a STEM activity pack which feature educational, fun and easy-to-follow activities are aimed at children aged 9 -11 to keep them entertained.
This is made specifically for parents and teachers to share with their kids to teach them about the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, commonly known as STEM.
These STEM subjects play an essential role in the Royal Navy and beyond. Every time a sailor is out at sea (or on any water), all these subjects provide vital skills that help them keep their ship afloat, cross oceans and keep the UK safe.
Every day we will be exploring a different STEM topic to understand precisely how it is helping the Royal Navy keep afloat.
Share your experiments and activities on social media this week, tagging RNRMC and using the hashtag #RNRMCFloatBoat
