In the morning, students completed a boat research project, where they learned all about the parts of boats, types of boats, ways to make them move, and boat shapes.
After recess, students rotated through 4 experiments in each of the Grade 2 classrooms: Clay Boat experiment, Sailboat Demo/ Experiment, Jet Boat Demo, Paddle Boat Demo
Then in the afternoon, it was time to put all of this knowledge to the test. Students designed and created a boat that they felt would float, propel and cary a load. Then we tested the boats. EEKS! We realized that some modifications were needed, so students went back to work on their boats. At the end of the day, they tested their final products. Congratulations, 2D Fishermen, on a job well done!
