Test Your builds & Improve the next boat
Get mom, dad or the adult you live with to help you fill a sink (sink, tub, bucket, large bowl) with about 2 inches of water and test each of your boats. You can make improvements to help the boats float, after you sunk each one. Be sure to tell us about how your improvements worked out.
