Making Boats... but can they float?

29th Mar 2023

Miss O'Neill taught us today about buoyancy and gravity as part of our World Around Us topic. We brought in recyclable materials from home to make our team boats and test them out in the water. The winning boat was able to hold over 100 cubes and was still staying afloat so it probably would take a lot more for gravity to take over in that case. 

The boats were named: 

The Crosses 1.0

HoCiCaGr

Messi

Titanic 2.0

Elbr Rules 

Tin Foil Boat

It was great fun, team building and recycling all rolled in to one! Thank you Miss O'Neill!
