Vessel Challenge to carry coal

To start our Inquiry topic about ' The uses of Awa', we had to get creative. In partners or groups of 3 (no more) create a water vessel that will float for 1 minute and hold 6 bits of coal.

Use the materials provided to build your vessel

  • Sticks
  • Flax
  • Paper
  • Material
  • Rubber bands
  • Balloons
Some of us had success with our vessels holding the bits of coal easily, where some the coal fell of straight away. It was lots of fun and got us thinking about what we could do differently next time to ensure it floated and could hold the coal. Watch out next term as we are going to build rafts to hold us.
