Eureka!! It's Buoyancy!!

The 4th grade CCATS learned all about Archimedes' Principle, buoyancy, density, salinity, mass, matter, and volume! Wow! That's a lot of science!! After absorbing all this new information, they were put to the test. The students were put into to groups and challenged to make a boat that could hold more marbles than anyone else's! We had some great boats this year!! A new SUPER RECORD was set!!! The winning boat held an AMAZING 526 marbles!!! Can you beat that??

Blake, Lily, and Addison are coming up with a plan!

Landon, Cassidy, and Tykyra think they have it figured out!


Will Lane, Jolee, Macy, and Brayden have the winning boat?

Not a bad boat! Almost heart shaped for Valentine's Day!

This boat tested well, also!

Here is a comparison of the first two boats.

This is a picture of 526 marbles in a tinfoil boat!!

Great job everyone!!!
Looking good!
