Paper boat

 

I made this boat above.

It floated until I turned the tap on.

TIP: Use tape to hold it together. Also make sure there's no fold at the bottom.

    What an incredible boat! I love your design, and the bit at the top. Is it a sail or a design feature for easy carrying? I also really like your tip at the bottom! That’s so helpful for your readers should they too try to make their own paper boat!

    That’s a shame that it didn’t float after the tap was turned on, but the waves it created may have contributed! How long did it float on the flat water? Do you think on a lake it would go very far?

    Perhaps you could make a video of your boat floating if it’s salvageable. If not, perhaps you could make one of the other boats in the activity guidelines to see how well they float and compare them all.

    Keep up the fantastic work!

  2. Hello
    It is expose to be a mast for a sail.
    It would have floated for like a hour but in a lake i'm not sure because of the small waves.

    1. Hello Cameron,

      That's a cool mast! Have you considered adding a sail? If so, what would you make it out of?

      Do you know how sails work?

      Bye for now,
