We had many designs that we thought would be good but we finally came up with our final three designs
3
The problem we are trying to solve is how many pennies we can float in a paper boat before it sinks.
4
Distribute the pennies evenly and spread them apart. This will keep the boat balanced. Have higher edges so the boat wont sink as fast. The normally best penny boat is just a box.
5
C HART FOR FINDING OUT WHAT ONE TO USE Boat #1Boat #2Boat #3 Does it actually float? Yes Easy to make or not (1-10) 496 Is it big enough to hold very many pennies? It’s a bit small compared to other boats Its big and can probably hold many pennies Its smaller and can probably hold some pennies but not as much as others Boat #1 Boat #2 Boat #3
6
The boat we chose The boat we chose was boat #2 because it can hold more pennies than most boats and also it seems durable.
7
Tin foil Paper
8
Prediction We predict that our boat will hold 103 pennies We predict that Braden's & Josh’s boat will hold 100 pennies We predict that the girl’s boat will hold 200 pennies We predict that Spencer and the two Kyle’s boat will hold 100 pennies We predict that Nicholas’ and Bens boat will hold 20 pennies
9
Results Our boat held the most pennies at 398 The two Kyles and Spencers boat held 131 pennies The girls boat held 258 pennies Braden’s and josh’s boat held 131 pennies Nicholas and Ben's boat held 30 pennies
10
Conclusion We found out that the more space you cover the more pennies your boat should be able to hold We also found out that the fancier boat isn't always the best
