Older kids/adults:
The Terrible Hours by Peter Maas-
an excellent book on the greatest submarine rescue and the story of the innovations of Swede Momsen, whose divers TRUSTED him implicitly.

DVD: NOVA: Voyage of Endurance- the story of Ernest Shackleton's attempt to reach the South Pole.

We just did this unit again. My children are pre-school through 4th grade. I posted the books we used this time around at http://www.squidoo.com/ships-floating-and-buoyancy-lesson-plan . If you scroll down toward the bottom, you can see the lessons we did each week along with the books we enjoyed for each of those weeks.
