In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?
