Don’t tip the ship!Fill a tub , tank or washing up bowl with water.

Take a piece of squared paper. Create a rectangle of 6 x 7 squares. Cut this out as shown below.

Fold up the four sides (shown in green). Tape the corners together to make it watertight.

Count the number of squares in the base of the boat.

Gently place the boat in the tub of water - it will float!

Add weights (coins work really well because they have a big surface area) one after the other until the boat sinks. For best results, place the weights equally and in a balanced way around the boat. On a real ship the weight is carefully spread across it to prevent it from tipping.

Repeat the experiment and compare your results for different shapes and sizes. Does the size or shape of the boat change how many weights can be added? The only limit is the size of your tub! Paddling pool anyone?

Next steps Why not use different materials to make and test your boats?
