Today the 4th grade went to the science lab for experiments utilizing engineering and mass. Using a piece of foil, they had to design a "boat" that they felt would hold the most mass.
After they designed their boats, they placed the boats into the water and then, one at a time, places a penny onto the boat.
The winner was the student who's boat could hold the most mass, or pennies!
We had a few boats that held over 150 pennies! We even had one that held over 239 pennies! This was an awesome lab, and the students had a blast doing it!
