Title Boat or Submarine
Scientists:Dylan and Cameron(Me)
Question/Goal/ problem
What shape of container will hold the most weight ?
Hypothesis (The shape I have chosen and why I think it is the best shape)
The shape Dylan and me have decided on it a cube because it is tall and wide.
Materials
Container filled with water, modelling clay, old coins
Method (What I did)
Create a boat out of modelling clay.
I Fill the container with water.
Place the boat carefully onto the water so it floats.
One at a time , put coins carefully into the boat . Count how many coins are in the boat before it sinks.
Observation/ Analyse (What happened and why I think it happened)
We placed our cube in the water it sank right away and went under. It was properly it was too heavy.
Conclusion (What I discovered about floating/ sinking )

ReplyDeleteWhat great photo's you have got there.
It's great how you are being honest of how your boat sunk in the water on your first go.
That experience was really fun.
You and Dylan did a great job creating a shape which was the cube and making it float in the water.
How many coins did your cube shaped boat hold?
Well done:)
