 Science Discovery Museum


Have you ever wondered ships were built in the days before cranes and computers?  How does it float?  What materials make the best sails?  Why?  How would you design a canon or catapult if you had no factory in which to build it? How far can it launch?  How would you test it? Come explore these questions with Brandeis scientists as we tackle the mysteries and science behind being a Pirate.  Sponsored by Genzyme.
