Ethan's Discovery Day

Ethan's mom brought us our latest Discovery Day project. She provided each child with the following: cardboard, cloth, wooden spoon, tape, and aluminum foil. Everyone had to use only these supplies to build a boat that would float and hold pennies.

 Alex and Shea working on their boats.

 Zac planning his last step in boat building. 

Kayden and Taven start work on their boats.

Mayson waits patiently after finishing his boat as Ethan adds last minute touches.

They float! 

But what will happen as the cargo (pennies) is loaded?

What a great chance for the kids to experiment and make predictions about their finished projects! It would be fun to recreate this experiment at home with different supplies and different cargo. 

(For the record, I do have girls in my class! I have no idea why Lexi is the only one in any of the pictures. Sorry girls! I'll get you next time.)
