Sink or Float- Christopher Columbus Innovation Day

On Thursday afternoon the Starfish became boat designers.  We had our first science talk sharing ideas about how we might design our boats to float.  We talked about size and shape of our boats, materials we would plan to use, and weight of our boats.  


I wish I could share picture of innovation day but the kids had me busy at the hot glue station and cutting strips of duct tape to their order, making  sure their boat materials were safely and securely in place.  It was fun to listen to their conversations, watch the collaboration amongst peers, and the trial and error that occurred during the boat construction.

On Friday afternoon, our boats set sail...
