If you put a ball of clay in water, it sinks, clay is denser than waterSo, how can you make a boat out of clay that floats? Students were challenged to make a clay boat Not only did they have to make a boat, they had to hold cargo: 5 metal washers supplied by their teacher. Their supplies included: oz. (60 ) clay -1230 cm) masking tape sheet wax paper -4-5 paper towels -tub of water (shared) 5 washers/team The students worked on their boats and finally had the first trial runWhat suggestion(s) would you make to Team 3? Put tape over leaks Make the hull of the boat longer and wider Press the clay together where ever there are leaks Tape wax paper to the outside of the boat hull
