NGSS Student Outcome

Students will research, investigate, and experiment to find out how a boat’s design affects its buoyancy.
Students will create boats to determine which design will support the most weight without sinking.
Students will be able to explain why some boat designs work better than others.
Data will be collected, recorded and evaluated using charts, graph, and/or spreadsheets.
