Floating+Part+1

=The Great Floating Challenge= After our experiments on what floats and doesn't float (using Predict, Observe and Explain charts) we developed our own rules on why this happens. Our next challenge is to group up and develop a small boat that can support additional weight. We are using our rules to guide us. We set the following criteria:

1. Our boats must float. 2. Our boats will fit into our paper recycling bin. 3. Our boats will be able to balance wieghts on top of them.

After drawing up quick plans we began the construction. Luckily we had a camera to capture the action. Keep checking the website for Part Two of this challenge where we take our boats to the school pool and see which one can take the most weight!
