This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part four. This lesson will focus on sharing each group’s design and discussing their iterations (Share). In order to successfully execute
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
This plan is meant for 3 days of work. Two books go with this plan. Two types of model rockets are included in this plan. Discussions and entries into a STEM Notebook are part of this plan.
