Lately in Maths we have been looking at Mass, Volume, and Capacity. Today we did a fun activity where we had to design a boat only using tinfoil. The aim was to see which boat would hold the most marbles before sinking. It was interesting to see the different shapes and designs of the boats. We found out the boats that held the most were the lighter boats with larger surface areas. The boats lasted longer if the marbles were evenly distributed throughout the boat. It was a fun activity that we all enjoyed.
