Sink or Float

The teachers of Belize do a really amazing job of creating hands on activities with little materials. Today the students and I worked on an engineering lesson in which they were required to construct boats using popsicle sticks, styrofoam, glue and other recycled items. We were then able to test out which ones sank or float right at the beach! It was so exciting for the kids to be off school property and get to see whether or not their boat would withstand the floating test. This was definitely a fun project I felt I could take home to do with my students in the states.
