Today was a big day for our class! We met our Kinderbuddies and enjoyed working on an engineering challenge in the RES Makerspace at the same time! Student teams were challenged to design and build a boat using 4 straws, and one square of tin foil. Will it float without tipping? Once you meet that challenge..... now try to add a load to your boat! Kids added pennies.....to see how much it could hold! Teams even recorded their data! Some students extended their investigation by testing again with smaller amount of foil.
Could they still hold pennies without sinking? How many?
Overall it was a fun and exciting afternoon and we look forward to seeing our new friends again!
