Challenge 4 - What Floats a Boat?
This week, we explore what make things sink and float in water. See if you can design a boat that will hold more coins than Mr. Picard's. Our keywords for this week are "buoyancy" and "density." Watch the video below to find out more!

Challenge 3 Failure! I was planning on having a third challenge, but it turns out the stream in the Sanctuary has a very weak flow right now. My boat just kinda sat there . . . :(. But it's okay! Failure is a part of design and engineering! Onward!
