A Boat that Floats?

Book orders for November are going home today

This afternoon we had our first boat building challenge.  Here are some of our thoughts on how it went.  
We got to build our boat with a partner and we got to test it in a container of water to see if it would float and it also had to carry a load - Grace T
My partner was Jade and our boat did not sink but it took on water - Grace D
My partner was Cayden and we built a boat out of plasticine, tin foil, cardboard and styrofoam and popsicle sticks and our boat sank - Zoie

First we were given the building challenge and discussed expectations for our boat

We worked with our partners to discuss and plan what we were going to do and how we were going to build our boat.  

We built our boats, following our plans and working with our partner.  

We tested our boats to see if they could carry a load, float, move forward, was waterproof and stable.  

Some of our boats were successful, and many of our boats were not. :(
Now we are going to learn more about boats and then have another building challenge in a few weeks.  
Everyone did a great job of working together, cooperating and doing their best to make a boat.  Well done!
