Float Your Boat Challenge

  1. The problem that must be resolved here is that we need to be able to carry x amount of pennies with a makeshift boat with the given materials.
  2. My hypothesis for our boat is that it will be able to hold a few pennies since it is so small as our original design was changed, and not made to be able to distribute the weight of the pennies evenly.
  3. Our boat was able to hold 13 pennies.
  4. We originally wanted to make it similar to the design of a paper boat but we changed our minds, and crushed what was the top to make a flat base.
  5. We would make the boat longer so the weight of the pennies can be distributed evenly among the entire length of the boat. We could keep the idea of having the toothpicks on the bottom to secure it.
