which variable to change
which variables to keep the same
which variable to measure.
Your turn:
Make the boats with your changed variable.

Test the boats.
Measure the speed or distance travelled by each boat. You may record each test on a device.
Compare the results of each boat.
Explain the results and if your chosen variable made a difference.
The critical final step:
Did your results (measurements) support your predictions?
Did your results prove you right or wrong?
Explain what happened.
Share your work with your teacher.
