Description
Here's a great way to introduce the Scientific Process to you students.
The objective of the experiment is to have you students create a boat out of tin foil that will hold the most pennies in it before it sinks. They can fold or tear the foil, but that's it. You will need lots of foil for groups of students to use. The experiment walks the students through the entire process, including follow-up questions.
If you enjoy this, please don't forget to rate it and also see our Card Stacker Lab (free) and our Bubble Gum Lab ($0.95) for more.
Thanks!
