Yesterday group two and group 3 created a boat. First, we got into groups of five in my group was Pia, Ava, Asinat, Khalia and myself. Our challenge was to make our boat float.

Next,we got our tray, In the tray was Popsicle sticks, cardboard, black plastic, super glue, corks and scissors. We started off by getting the cardboard and the black plastic. We wrapped the cardboard  with the black plastic and glued it with  super glue.

Afterwards, we got the corks and glued it to the bottom and got some Popsicle sticks and attached it to the stern (back) and cut a little bit of  the black plastic to make a flag.Then, we glued the Popsicle sticks and stuck it on the cardboard. Our boat did not look like a boat, it looked more like a raft.

Lastly, we had to tidy up and I thought my group had to get up and tell group 2 and 3 and tell them how we built our boat.On Wednesday we had to add some final touches. The only thing we did was get a popsicle stick and marker and wrote our group name for the boat. Our name was ‘The Bahamas’. That was the only thing we had to finish to complete the boat.

First, we started of by cutting a piece of paper into a square and wrote North, East, West and South.We cut the end of both sides of the straw into slits so our triangle and square could fit through.

 

Next, we stabbed our pencil into the middle of the cup  and then got another piece of paper and cut it into a square and triangle. 

 

After we were done with that we attached our triangle and square into the straw slips we had cut. The shapes would help with catching the wind and moving the wind vane.

 

Then, we got our pin and poke it in the middle where the  pencil was and the straw and added the playdough underneath it to make the pencil not fall down from the hole.

 

Lastly,we went outside and tested it but when we went outside our wind vane did not spin it just stood still like a rock. We thought we did something wrong but actually it was because there was no wind. 

The water in the ocean evaporates up into the sky.

This happens when the sun is flaming hot.

It absorbs in the clouds.

Then when it rains it goes down the mountains and collects in the ocean.
