This week, we had the opportunity to connect some engineering skills with our history unit about George Washapotamus crossing the Delaware River with his Continental Dinosoldiers on Christmas night in 1776. We love to make connections! The challenge was to design a floating vessel to hold as many little green dinosoldiers) as possible. Miss Gage, our new junior intern from MSSU, helped out. In our challenge, each student sketched his/her idea. When it was time to make a prototype, groups had to choose which design elements to use. Then a sheet of aluminum foil was provided for the actual construction of the teams' ships. In a separate report (coming soon), we will see how our boat floaters fared.
