Boat Building Extravaganza

Today the children finished up their boats and were able to put them to the "float" test.  We began by testing each boat in "calm seas."  Teams placed their boats in the water and gradually loaded it with heavier weights to see if it could float for a full 15 seconds.  Those boats that succeeded, went on to the second round-"rough seas."  These boats were loaded to full capacity and then timed to see how long they could stay afloat in stormy waters. 

This was a lot of fun and the students did a great job!  To see more pictures, click here.
