7P7 - Boats

• Using tin foil , I created a square shape boat because I though this shape boat would hold a lot of pennies. Using tinker cad we decided to make a V-shaped hull bottom 3D boat for our group boat because we knew that this was a good shape boat.
• During this process, I learned it is very easy to built a tin foil boat out of not that much tin foil.

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 being an Empower Learner because I had to set personal learning goals to agree and disagree with my group to make a better boat. I set personal learning goals for myself by planning what I wanted the shape of my boat to be before I made it.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was how to make the shape of my boat. I was able to do this by watching videos and looking at pictures on the internet .
• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the boat. The reason why I would change it is because if I changed the depth of the boat then it would be able to hold more pennies. With this boat if it was deeper then it would hold more pennies because our boat wasn't deep enough we had pennies all the way to the top but but there was no space for any more pennies.
• This project connect to careers in being a manufacturer because they have to built things and they could build a boat. Or it could connect to being a marine engineer tech.

My tin foil boat held 323 pennies and our groups boat held 124.

My own boat made out of tin foil.

Using tin foil, I created a square shaped boat because I had a good feeling that the square shape boat would not sink very fast. During this process, I learned that my boat can hold 323 pennies.
