Float Your Boat

1. State the problem of this experiment:

How do we make the best boat that can hold the most pennies.
2. State your hypothesis for this experiment:

Putting the weight under the boat will keep it balanced.

3. How many pennies did your boat hold?

93
4. What was your thinking/reasoning behind the design of your boat?

We tried to find ways to use flotation devices.

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

I would cut the straw in half and put them on the sides of the boat instead of down the middle.
