Build a Boat Hope it Floats

Guidelines Build a boat capable of floating as many pennies as possible. Boats cannot be larger than 4 x 6 x 10 centimeters. You have 20 minutes from when I say "Build your boat“ to create a boat for the Float-off. Use the provided list of materials and their prices to calculate the cost of your boat.

How to Win The winner of the Boat Float-off is the group earning the highest score based on the following equation: Score = # of pennies floated Total Cost

Material Price List Paper $0.10 for each cm2 (Boat dimensions cannot exceed 4 cm x 6 cm x 10 cm) Paper $0.10 for each cm2 Aluminum Foil $0.20 for each cm2 Clear Plastic $0.30 for each cm2 Cardboard $0.50 for each cm2 Paper Clips $0.25 each Rubber Bands $0.50 each Plastic Straws $0.10 for each cm length Clear Tape $0.15 for each cm length Duct Tape $0.75 for each cm length

Presenting Your Results Your whiteboard must include the following: A complete list of materials and the individual costs as well as your total cost. Your calculated score = # of pennies total cost A list of things you discussed when designing the boat. A list of any obstacles that kept you from building a better boat. What were your boat's best/worst features?

Take Away How many of you built the best boat possible? How many of you could build a better boat now that you’ve tested yours and seen others tested?

Why did we do this? In a modeling classroom, students will learn from and work with each other. We will make mistakes and we will learn from them. We will construct models, test them, then improve upon them - just like we have done in this activity. We have just seen science in action and touched upon some of the topics we will cover as we go!
