Building Boats!

Today we attempted to build our own boats.  We were told we were stranded on an island and that we had to build a boat to get off.

Materials
-clay
-cork
-2 paper clips
-paper sail

A few of us were able to build boats that floated for a few seconds.  Most of the boats fell apart, sank, or tipped over.

We learned a new word called "keel".  We learned that boats have keels to add stability to the boat.

 Math fair projects went home with students today.  Students either divided them in half with their partner, gave them to their partner or kept them for themselves.

 Question of the day-

 What kind of boat would you like if you could have you own?

    You made a mistake. You said "you" instead of "your". Parker

    A boat that can protect you from sharks and that it very fast like a power boat.
