Cargo Contest



As the culminating project for our "Sink or Float" unit in science class, the students had a cargo contest.  They were given a choice of materials to build a boat and a set amount of time to complete the task. Because of our study, students knew what to do in order to build a good boat.  The competition was between two teams - Caleb & Ben and Maddie & Caroline.  You can see from the photos that it was pretty intense in the classroom.  Both teams made excellent boats, but the winners were Maddie & Caroline.  Their boat held 23 grams!
