STEM Unit: Float a Boat!
Reminder 01: If you need any help or have any questions, please email me at [email protected]
Reminder 02: Since STEM is a hands-on course using resources at school that I cannot send home, if you are absent I will simply excuse you from any grade that I take while you are out. So, when you are absent focus on work for your core content classes (Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies).
Mission: Students will practice the engineering design process by planning, building, and testing a model boat.
Construction Materials: empty plastic bottles, cardboard, and duct tape.
Criteria 01: The boat will need to float in water with cargo in or on it.
Criteria 02: The boat will have specific length, width, and height requirements.
Round One: Try to float it for 60 seconds without cargo.
Round Two: Try to float it for 30 seconds with cargo (a brick).
Round Three: Try to float it with more than one brick
