In Science we got to make boats out of lots of different supplies, like styrofoam, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, styrofoam cups, and aluminum foil, just to name a few. We had to write down all of the supplies that we took for our boat, after we were done building the boat we got to test it. Mr. Devries set up two water ways on which we could test our boats, they were made of Pvc Piping that was cut in half and filled with water. Mr. Devries also set up a fan as a source of power for our boats, we decided to use that source of power in our boat by placing a styrofoam cup on its side between two pontoons made of styrofoam. We lined the bottom and sides of the pontoons with aluminum foil, and also placed a large square piece of it over the cup to catch more air. In testing our boat when as fast as 4 seconds, faster than any other boat in the grade that we knew of, but unfortunately, in the official time trial, we got 8 seconds due to the tin foil lining being folded up the wrong way.
