What you’ll build
Your dome is finished but full of sea. Add a snorkel tube with ladders for air, then race two ways of draining water: buckets versus fill-and-dig. Crown the winner and drain the dome from the top down until you can stand on the dry seafloor.
Finish line: Your dome is dry inside and you can stand on the seafloor watching fish swim overhead.
Bonus challenge: Beat your own speed: drain one more layer with a better tool or a helper. How much does your blocks per minute jump?
You’ll need
- Two buckets
- A shovel
- Ladders
- Lots of dirt
- A stopwatch
- Glass
You choose

- My bet for the winner
- The first thing I'll put in the dry dome
Stuck?
- Buckets not working? Water between two sources refills itself, so in wide pools fill with dirt and dig it out instead.
- Use dirt, not sand: sand and gravel fall, dirt stays where you put it.
- Drain from the very top layer down. Water never flows upward.
