Building a Better Row Boat

Picture
The word 'du jour' is: Buoyant
Buoyant: It means that something floats (Maren)

Today, after experiment with buoyancy and a number of materials, we tried to make our own functional boats. But this time, we used limited resources. The only resources available to us were tin foil, corks and wire. Our goal was to see what kind of boats we could make and measure their strength by seeing how many beads each boat could hold. While some friends had ideas of their own, others worked in groups to make their boats.

196 (!) Beads. That must be some kind of record

Jordan! Wolfe got 196! He used the whole jar! - Palmer
This is our (Dagny and Josie) experiment. We can make another one that's better. - Dagny
