Float Your Boat!
by Alexandria Osteen
Students will work in teams to design, build, and test boats made of aluminum foil to explore engineering design principles, buoyancy, and problem-solving. This hands-on STEM challenge introduces basic scientific inquiry and collaborative learning. Students will design and test a tin foil boat to see how many pennies it can hold before sinking. They will record, measure, and analyze their data to find which boat design holds the most weight (mass).
