  1. Penny Boat Challenge By: Sheldon & Keara

  2. Designs • We had many designs that we thought would be good but we finally came up with our final three designs

  3. What problem are we trying to solve? • The problem we are trying to solve is how many pennies we can float in a paper boat before it sinks.

  4. Facts that we learned to make a successful penny boat • Distribute the pennies evenly and spread them apart. This will keep the boat balanced. • Have higher edges so the boat wont sink as fast. • The normally best penny boat is just a box.

  5. Chart for finding out what one to use Boat #1 Boat #2 Boat #3

  6. The boat we chose • The boat we chose was boat #2 because it can hold more pennies than most boats and also it seems durable.

  7. Materials we used to make our boat. • Tin foil • Paper

  8. Prediction We predict that our boat will hold 103 pennies We predict that Braden's & Josh’s boat will hold 100 pennies We predict that the girl’s boat will hold 200 pennies We predict that Spencer and the two Kyle’s boat will hold 100 pennies We predict that Nicholas’ and Bens boat will hold 20 pennies

  9. Results • Our boat held the most pennies at 398 • The two Kyles and Spencers boat held 131 pennies • The girls boat held 258 pennies • Braden’s and josh’s boat held 131 pennies • Nicholas and Ben's boat held 30 pennies

  10. Conclusion • We found out that the more space you cover the more pennies your boat should be able to hold • We also found out that the fancier boat isn't always the best
