What allows a boat to float? All this term we have been investigating materials, but which materials float and which sink? Does the shape of a material matter?

Your task this week is to make 2 boats from 2 different materials. Paper, rubber gloves, plastic, sticks, playdough, leaves, anything you like! Then place them in some water (perhaps the bathtub) and find out which materials floated!

Take a picture of your boat designs and email them to Mr.A at davea@woodfordps.vic.edu.au
