Gingerbread Engineering Challenge!

Another free slideshow design by Smilebox

This afternoon we explored how to get our gingerbread person down the river without getting wet.  We tried different boat designs.  
We noticed....
1. The more we blew at our boats, the more waves we created so some of our people got wet from the waves.
2. Tin foil is light and easy to create with.  It also floats.
3. Clay is heavier and our boats made of clay sank.
4. Plastic floats.
5.  We collaborated and shared ideas with each other.
6. We had fun.  Everyone was able to share their idea.
7. We liked reflecting in our new journals about what we did.
