Ask your MAXstudent:
•What variables might have caused the variation in results from the standard set up?
•What do you think the correlation will be to boat capacity and number of passengers? Explain your hypothesis.
Students construct standard paper cup boats and test them "at sea" to find out how many passengers (pennies) they can carry without sinking. After identifying variables that influence the number of passengers they can carry, students are going to construct more boats of different sizes and determine the capacity the beach boats by measuring the volume of water it can hold.
