cargo contest

Today was our first day of our Cargo Contest. Second graders have been studying buoyancy and capacity. We each made a boat out of materials we got from home and we're checking first to see if it floats and then how much cargo it will hold before sinking. Each of us is adding tiles to our boat as cargo to see how much it will hold. Today Aryan, Zack, Katie, Alexei, and Natalia's boats were put to the test!



Natalia's boat held 81 tiles! The most cargo so far!

On Friday last week we had Alexander's Mom and sister come in and read two books: Terrific by Jon Agee and The Principal's New Clothes by Stephanie Calmenson. Thanks for coming in and reading to us!
