Thinking about what factors affected your calculation, develop a way to more accurately determine the density of water, such as by including the weight of the boat hulls, adding something smaller. For example, if you plan to sail your boat in salt water, carrying a weight of 25 lbs., divide 25 by 64.3: 25 / 64.3 = 0.388, meaning that a little more than a third of a cubic foot of water must be displaced by the hull of your toy boat.. Be aware that the heavier the paper you use, the harder the boat will be to make. if you are floating your boat on a large body of water, like a pond, you can tape string onto one end of the boat. hold on to the other end of the string so that it doesn't float away!.
Transcript of applying math to physics: boat project. - a paper boat is buoyant when the weight of the amount of water it displaces is greater than the weight of the paper boat itself to find correlation between surface area of paper and the weight it can hold until it sinks. full transcript.. How much weight can it hold before sinking? kids activities blog has the instructions. let you child be in charge of investigating different boat designs. will a shell work for a boat? fantastic fun and learning finds out. design a boat powered by wind. learn how to make a paper boat from my little 3 and me. what types of paper work best?. Abstract have you ever wondered how a ship made of steel can float? or better yet, how can a steel ship carry a heavy load without sinking? in this science project you will make little "boats" out of aluminum foil to investigate how their size and shape affects much weight they can carry and how this relates to the density of water..
