Floating Boats

In October, Ms Druhan set us the challenge to design a boat that would float and carry passengers. 
Firstly we used playdough. The playdough was very hard and we found it difficult to make a boat shape and to make the boat float. 

After a few attempts, we decided to use a different material. We chose tinfoil instead of playdough. We all received the same size piece of tinfoil. We set out to create a boat. We all managed to float our boats. We used dry peas as our passengers and we counted to see how many passengers our boats would hold before sinking. We tried to redesign our boats so that they would carry more passengers. We were great captains!
