STEM - float your boat

Students were so excited about our last STEM activity that we did another shortly after.  Students were given a 10 x 10 piece of foil. They had to create a boat that would be able to hold as many pennies as possible. Students came up with several designs.



Wide base, with tall sides worked well.

This one had two different sides so when the coins were added they were alternated to the sides to balance. Seemed to be a little too small as it did not hold many pennies.
