Description
Great for small groups or for students who are learning from home!
Grades 6–12. Investigate physical science and engineering concepts including buoyancy, displacement, and density. Students construct an aluminum foil boat prototype and measure how much weight their boat can carry before taking on water or sinking. Students are then challenged to think of ways to maximize the load the boat can hold using other materials to modify the design. Kit materials support a single student or a small group of students. Includes instructions.
