Student designed boats - an 8th grade project.
Students were challenged to design a boat to hold as many pennies as possible without sinking or capsizing. All boats were scaled and printed so they were 25 g.
After testing students learned about buoyancy and density and then redesigned their boats.
These are their second designs.
Best boat in first generation could hold 37 pennies. Best boat in second generation held 79 pennies.
