I took advantage of having only 12 students on Friday by inviting 4 of Mrs. Tengei's class over. We made 4 groups of 4 students. I gave them foil and paper clips with the directions that they had to create a boat that will float in water and hold pennies. The boat that held the most won. We didn't get any pictures of the winning boat, but it held 86 (I think!??) pennies. The group who created it was: Tristan, Shelby, Tessa and Gillian. We learned how a wider and flatter boat will be more stable than a deep and pointy bottom.
