🚢⛵ Sink the Boat! ⛵🚢

Our budding engineers put their creativity to the test as they designed and built their very own tin foil boats! Using teamwork, imagination and problem-solving skills, the children explored different designs before putting them through the ultimate floating challenge. 

Would their boats stay afloat?  How much weight could they hold before sinking? Using multilink cubes, conkers and other materials, the children made predictions, tested their ideas and discovered all about floating and sinking. 

There were lots of excited cheers, thoughtful discussions and brilliant scientific thinking throughout the investigation. What fantastic teamwork, resilience and creativity from everyone involved!
