What materials will you use? Label your sketch with the materials that you will need.

(Suggested Materials: aluminum foil, pennies or other small weighted

objects, a container or a sink filled with water)

CREATE:

  1. Build your first boat.
  2. Test your design.

Does it float?

Make improvements if needed.

TEST/IMPROVE:

  1. Try adding one penny at a time to your boat.

Can you think of a way to improve your design so that it might hold more weight?
