I call this a Foil Boat Challenge because one of the main materials is aluminum foil. A lot of our boats will resemble baked potatoes. 🤣⁠

The photo is from a Building Boats Challenge and the question is one I hear often. Does every team need a pan of water to test boats? ⁠
⁠
🛶 No! I have 2 plastic bins that I place on a central table. ⁠
🛶Cover your table with cloth towels. There will be drips and spills.⁠
🛶 Students take their boats to the testing table and place them in the water. Students add pennies one at a time until the boat takes on water.⁠
🛶 When the boat is removed students take it back to their worktables with a cloth towel. We have tried paper towels, but those brown things that schools have don't soak up water at all.⁠
