Step it up-float a boat

 

So I put both boats in the water at the same time. They were both holding 5 stones when the square based boat sank.  A short time later the canoe sank.

    Productive work on your step it up. What did you find most challenging about this ?

    If you were to design the next step up from here, how would you do it? How do you feel like you would step this further? Maybe you would consider making a boat that withstands windy weather? Or a water repellent one?

    Again, great work, looking forward to seeing more of your activities.

    Have a nice day today!

    Mā te wā,
    Benjamin.

      It is great that you can recognise space for improvement within the practical side of this activity. It is hands on.

      I might consider making a waterproof one in the near future, and decide whether I would make the boat material waterproof or even make a cover for it that is waterproof.

      Great conversation!

      Again, I hope you have a lovely day.

      Mā te wā,

      Benjamin.
