When students are done building have all group measure mass and area in centimeters(PRINT OFF MEASURING SHEETS)  6. When groups are done, have Mr. Anderson watch them and chart the # of pennies, surface area, and mass  7. Finally all students will sit quietly in groups and work through their questions (10 minutes)  8. Each group will pick a recorder and they will get a #  9. Have class come together and drew large chart, have recorders yell out numbers  10. Walk students through the graphing  11. Look for connections  11. Have students write a conclusion on a small piece of paper about how their predictions changed through the experiment

 1. Finish Building Boat  2. Find the mass of the boat using electronic balance. Put in Lab Report  3. Find the surface area of boat using ruler and in centimeters…. Length x width= area.. Put in Lab Report  4. Test how many pennies your boat can… hold… have Mason watch. Put in lab report  5. Work with group to finish the questions on your lab report  6. Sit in assigned seats when done with questions  7. Fill in data table as a class

 1. You must have at least two sets of different data  2. Pick one variable that changes the outcome of the experiment Independent variable= the thing that changes the outcome (surface area) Dependent variable= the thing that is changed (# of pennies) 1. Put the independent on the x axis because you control it… and it should change in small amounts 2. Put the dependent on the y because it can change a lot 3. Plot out your x then move up to your y number and put a dot. Do this for each group

1. Was you hypothesis correct? 2. Using the graph, how did surface area effect how much weight a boat can hold
