Boat Float STEM Sprint – Ocean Buoyancy Engineering | Grade 2
In the Foil Boat Delivery Sprint, students become naval engineers as they design and build an aluminum foil boat capable of carrying the maximum possible cargo payload without sinking. Set inside the Ocean Explorers narrative theme, this focused 1-week sprint challenges Grade 2 students to investigate buoyancy, hull shape, and weight distribution — testing their design, recording load data, and making one evidence-based redesign before their final cargo test. What Students Will Do* Investigate

Float Sink Lab Challenge: Orange Peel and Unpeeled Density
What causes an orange to sink or float? Use mass, volume, and density to explain! Requires tub of water and an orange - ideally two, so you can show the demo with and without the peel. Can be a demo or a lab. Super low prep and fun! Students Predict and Describe: Will the orange will sink or float? If the orange is then peeled, do you think it will sink or float? What happens to the mass of the orange when it has no peel? Includes: 1 student sheet to record observationsGoogle Slides editable!Vid
