Boat Project Wiki

By Bobby and Grant

Our boat is the BG. The two materials we chose were a sandwich bag and a styrofoam bowl.  The other materials we used to make our boat were card stock, tin flit, and duct tape.  Our boat is a square shape so it can be balanced when we put the pennies in it.  The bag and the styrofoam bowl were taped to the bottom of the boat and card stock was cut to fit inside the foil.  The BGs buoyant force is 1731.5 grams and its efficiency is 57.9. The BG had the highest efficiency in our class.  Our boat did above average compared to the class in both efficienty and buoyant force.
