Float a Boat


The sixth graders are studying density in science.  We have learned that the density of water is 1.0 g/ml.  That means anything with a density larger than 1.0 g/ml will sink and smaller will float.  Today each student made a foil boat and floated it to see how many pennies it could hold.  We will talk about buoyancy and which boat shape is the most successful.
