### sense in the lessons

In science, submarines submerge by filling tanks with water and surface by blowing it out — a lesson on floating and sinking. In geography, floods submerge roads and fields. In safety lessons: never drive or walk through submerged roads — water can be deeper and faster than it looks. In maths and science, you find the volume of an object by submerging it and measuring the rise in water.
