Teach Engineering: What Floats Your Boat?

For Teachers 7th - 9th
Students use modeling clay, a material that is denser than water and thus ordinarily sinks in water, to discover the principle of buoyancy. They begin by designing and building boats out of clay that will float in water, and then refine...
