Design a Boat that can FLOAT!

Last week, we used our imagination to construct a boat out of aluminum foil.  The activity's goal was to construct a boat that would float in a bucket of water.  The second part of the goal was to have our boat float while holding as many centimeter cubes as possible.  And lastly, our aim was to make the boat using a cool design.  The kindergarteners did better than any of us expected!

After many attempted boat designs, trials in the bucket of water & alterations for the boats to hold more cubes, we had a winner.  His boat held 151 centimeter cubes without sinking!  I think there might be a future career in engineering for some of our budding builders!
