Penny Boat Lab: Density, Buoyancy and Archimedes
This is a one period activity/lab to teach students about the concept of density and Archimedes Principle, why things float. Students each get a piece of aluminum foil and design and make a boat. They then must calculate how many pennies it will carry before sinking, and then test it. This is an excellent one day STEM project that combines science, math, design and construction. Students will use the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.

Benefits of learning math
Learning math has many benefits. It helps students:
- Begin to develop problem-solving, logical reasoning, and critical-thinking skills
- Grow their understanding of numbers and basic operations
- Understand how math is used in real-life situations
By ensuring that students have a solid foundation, teachers can help set them up for future success.
