What is Kindergarten's problem?
A barge is a type of boat. Barges are slow boats. Barges hold a lot of stuff.

Test Your builds --
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.
