Float Your Boat Challenge

1). Sate the problem of this experiment

How many pennies will fit ib our boat before it sinks?

2). State your hypothesis for this experiment

If we build a boat made out of straws, tinfoil, and craft sticks. Then it will hold 50 pennies because the boat will not be that strong.

3). How many pennies did your boat hold?

Our boat will held 73 pennies.

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

We thought that the deeper our boat was the more pennies it will hold. Our boat had high sides that were held up by craft sticks. Our boat also had the straws on the sides to help it float.

5) What would you keep/ change in your boat design if were to do this again

I would make your boat bigger and not as deep. The boats that covered more surface area did way better than the small deep boats
