Testing,testing 1 2

Grade 1/2 worked on testing and improving sailboats.  We recorded in our notebooks our designs and redesigns and looked in books for more ideas about boat shapes and designs.    We were introduced to the concepts of buoyancy and water displacement with Bill Nye.  Tomorrow we will have further study of those two concepts.  Here is a peek at our designs.
