Using tin foil, I created boats because I wanted to see how many pennies it could hold.
During this process, I learned the more tin foil the walls have the more pennies they can hold.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to creative communication because it is fun to build a create boats and it shows how mass works.
A challenge I overcame on this project was not having enough tin foil. I was able to do it by finding more tin foil others were using.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change my first boat. The reason why I would change it is because my first boat did not do well.
