Sink and Float

What types of shapes can float?
How can you make a boat out of clay?  Out of tin foil?
How many counters can you add before your boat sinks?






We learned that if you make your boat thin and keep the sides up, it floats better.  You have to be very careful to balance the weight you add to your boat.  We also learned how important it is to work slowly and keep trying!

We read Mr. Gumpy's Outing by John Burningham and Who Sank the Boat? by Pamela Allen to inspire our scientific exploration!
