Students will learn the concept of buoyancy, an object’s ability to float. The lesson will then be put to test by having the students create their own boats mainly from aluminum foil and testing its buoyancy under the weight of various amounts of coins.

Put your construction skills to test this Saturday, May 21st to see if you can build an aluminum boat that sails as smooth as a cruise ship or if it will sink like the Titanic!
