My Boat

In science class, the goal was to build a boat that will survive and glide along the water with only a fan put on low. We made our first boat out of a styrofoam cup, a ballon, tin foil, index cards and a ton of tape. But I wont be talking about that one… lets just say it failed and broke. With only limited resorces we made our second boat with what we could use left. Stirofoam, popsicle sticks , tin foil and index cards. The amount of resorces we used in total was 4 by 4 inch piece of styrofoam, 1 ballon, 3 popcycle sticks, 1 styrofoam cup, 3 index cards, 100 cms of tape and 10 inches of foil. The first trial went nicely, our time was 8.63, We got 2nd place. Thats pretty much what we hoped for. We didn’t make changes for the second trial. Exept push in the tin foil. The second trial got 9.33 for a time. It was hugging the edge of the pipe. After all the trials, rAGE kept its reign as 2nd well. By the way, rAGE is our boat name, the last 3 letters stand for Audrey, Grace and Emma.
