Build-a-Boat - 10 Pack

 

Highlights:

Conquer the high seas — or your swimming pool — by crafting your own DIY boat! The TeacherGeek building system does what others don't, allowing kids to easily swap and manipulate parts as they try out their latest and greatest boat design. That means kids are really engineering; trying out ideas, seeing what works and what doesn't, and learning all the while!

*NOTE: You need a Phillips-head Screwdriver for this activity pack. Please see link to our recommended TeacherGeek Screwdrivers below.

 

Suggested Add-ons:

 

Curriculum/Lesson Topics:

Propeller Design Lab: Create an experiment to investigate the variables that affect propeller design, then use the results to build a better boat! Ages 8+. More info is available in the Propeller Design Lab document here

Speedboat Challenge: The fastest boat wins! Race head to head in a regatta or compete for the shortest time.

Delivery Challenge: Carry the package across the finish line in the shortest time to win!

Heavy Load Challenge: Carry the most cargo across the finish line to win!

Target Challenge: The closest boat to the target wins!

Please see page 7 on the Go Guide here for more challenge info.
