STEM Investigation: How do boats float? Boat Challenge!!

Created by

STEM Challenge: Can you design an aluminum foil boat that will float and hold weight of multiple pennies? This STEM challenge is a class favorite! It is also the first team activity we do in science, which is awesome because this challenge allows students to make multiple attempts with their design! A hands-on experience that allows students to TRY AGAIN! This lesson requires students to make observations prior to their building process, a Wonderopolis investigation on how boats float, brains

Aluminum Foil Boat Team Challenge

Created by

Kristen Johnson

Students will work in teams to design, create, and test a structure made out of aluminum foil. The teams will compete against each other to create a "boat" that holds the most amount of coins while floating on water. They will have to make predictions, record data, form conclusions, and answer questions throughout the lab.

Science Inquiry Lessons

NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION: gravitational force mass distance, planetary orbits Kepler, gravitational potential energy, space travel trajectories, Newton vs Einstein relativity reading comprehension passages. Why do apples fall but satellites soar, could you hurl a cannonball hard enough to loop Earth forever? Students uncover how massive planets yank moons into endless dances, spacecraft pirouette around Jupiter for free speed boosts, and black holes shred light itself. They explore
