TIN FOIL BOAT CHALLENGE IN ROOM 6!

22nd Jun 2023

After an exciting morning, enjoying our end of year trip, we decided to have a nice afternoon filled with an exciting challenge! The chidren were all provided with a piece of tinfoil and were asked to design a boat to support the greatest number of marbles! Children had to decide how we would record our findings and came up with the idea in the photo!

There was immense excitement as we took it in turns to watch each others boat being filled with marbles! Alice's boat held the most marbles before sinking, with 58 marbles!! Tyler's boat came a close second, supporting 42 marbles!

Excellent design and engineering Primary 3, you were all up for this exciting challenge. Why don't you give it another try at home?
