In science we are learning about things that float and things that don't. So to discover why and how boats float we did an experiment with pennies, quarters, and nickels. We had a flat piece of foil to act as one boat and a piece of foil with its sides folded up for another boat. Then we added money one at a time to see the threshold of each boat. We learned that 1 quarter will sink a flat boat while 10 pennies will float on a folded up boat. We also learned that quarters are the heaviest of coins that we have. And for bonus we added up our coins. Math and science in one lesson.
