How does a Boat Float?
Students will conduct an engineering activity where they design a tinfoil boat that floats. They should continue to redesign the boat to hold an increasing number of pennies. Students will better understand the forces of gravity and buoyancy. Students will see how Archimedes experimented with buoyancy and displacement.

Valentine Straw Rocket STEM Challenge, K-3 Heart & Cupid Rockets
Cupid’s delivery system is failing, and your students get to be the engineers who save Valentine’s Day. Valentine Straw Rocket STEM Challenge is a hands-on, low-prep engineering activity where kids build simple straw rockets, decorate them as heart or cupid rockets, then launch, measure, and redesign to improve distance and accuracy. It’s the perfect February STEM center, whole-group challenge, or fast-finishers activity that feels like play, but quietly nails real science and math skills. S

Floating Love Boats Valentine STEM Challenge, Foil Boat Buoyancy Lab (K–3)
Cupid’s candy delivery boats are sinking, and your students are the rescue team. In Floating Love Boats, kids design aluminum foil “love boats” and test how many candy hearts they can load before the boat finally goes down. It’s hands-on, hilarious (in the best way), and sneaks in real science like buoyancy, stability, and the engineering design process without anyone realizing they’re learning. Students build, test, record results, then redesign and try again. You get instant engagement, mean
