Boat Building Challenge



Each pair of partners were given 10 straws, a piece of foil and a roll of masking tape.   They only directions they were given were:  
* talk with your partner to make a plan
* try out all your ideas 
* use only the materials given to you- we will not be giving any more( including scissors)



 Love the teamwork ...




 

"Let's draw a plan"



"We should cut it in 1/2 so we can both keep the parts we built"


"Let's fold it a little, like a taco."



Testing our boats   









The pennies were added one at a time to see how many "people" the boats could hold before taking on water.
