Float Your Boat

,

State the problem of this experiment: 

The problem of our experiment was that we had to figure out how to create a boat with tin foil, a piece of tape, coffee stirrers, and a straw.

State your hypothesis for this experiment:

Our hypothesis was that forming our tin foil so it is shaped like a boat  will help make the pennies stay in the boat longer.

How many pennies did your boat hold?

Our boat held 23 pennies

What was your thinking/reasoning behind the design of your boat?

We designed our boat so it would look like a boat itself. We thought that since we made it look like a boat, and we had great support under the boat, that it will help it last longer in the water.

What would you keep/change on your boat design if you were to do this again?

I would change the design of how we made the boat float, because we used a straw and tape for the bottom. The tape became wet and fell off, which made us only get 23 pennies in our boat.
