In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

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

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

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

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