Float a Boat
Students draw upon their understanding of buoyancy and density, as well as potential and kinetic energy, to design
and build a floating vessel with its own propulsion system that will carry cargo across a wading pool. As students
iterate through the design challenge, they gain firsthand experience in the design process.
