Foil and Styrofoam Boat Experiment
Bright Horizons at Winter Garden challenged their students to design boats out of foil and styrofoam that would float in a pool. The kiddos used their creativity to make the boats and recorded the results when they tried to make them float.
Materials needed for this project
*Foil
*Chunks of styrofoam
*Scissors
*Rubber bands
*Craft sticks (they look like unused popsicle sticks)
How to do this project
To make your boats you can follow these steps:
1. Cut up foil with your scissors.
2. Combine foil and styrofoam together with rubber bands while utilizing your craft sticks to give everything a boat shape.
3. Take your boat to a body of water (a pool, a full sink) and place it down.
4. See if your boat floats or sinks! If it sinks, make changes until you can get it to float.
