This easy build uses two important scientific principles, buoyancy and stored kinetic energy, to float and drive a simple boat. The parts are all readily available around most homes, and the boat can be assembled in minutes, though a bit more time with waterproof markers can add some style to the outcome. Consider experimenting with additional components like fins for stabilization, to improve the performance.

cool this whole program is really cool I love it
I love this site its tighttttt
uhhh cool site its titer than tite
As an educator- I would love it if you could make the instructions for these projects easily printable so I can create files and do this with students
If you click the little grey oval “ALL” button near the Project Steps heading, you’ll get all the steps on one page, which makes printing easier. You still don’t get all the pictures zoomed in big, but it’s pretty good.
I would like a video visual to go along with this. It’s the plastic paddle part that I will likely get stuck on not being able to figure the correct sizing.
we love todays project and it worked perfectly.
This was great! Paddle was tricky, but with a bit of tweaking, works pretty well now. We tried different types of plastic. Made a big difference. Having fun!
Did this project at the local pool and it is was great. The kids loved being able to take their build right into the water to use it. Big hit! We found the strength of the dowels used really made a difference.
I did another boat out of an altoids tin box
me and my friend are doing a project for school and we are going to try this but it would help a lot if there was a video
REALLY HOPE THIS WERKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW…. addy and I are gonna try diss.. :P better werk or else…lol
