Homework for Thursday.

Start by remembering Monday's lab and putting your lab notebook in order.  Describe the goal (make an object that will float with the most number of dimes inside) and summarize what you learned.  Write up your results.  Describe your most successful boat design. Think about how you might "quantify" your boat designs.  >>"...it was 2 cm tall, the flat bottom was rectangular, and covered 18 square cm...etc." for example.  In retrospect, what kind of measurements should you have taken?

Gizmos: follow log on directions from previous blog.  Print out the student exploration and the vocabulary page.  Follow the directions for Archimedes' Principle:
