Design a working motor boat with this activity. Find your hull in the recycling bin (milk jug, foam tray, etc.). Add the motor, propeller and other components. Set it in the water and watch it go. Learn through experimentation and tinkering. Evolve your boat through the engineering design process. This activity features TeacherGeek Build-Your-Own Propellers; allowing you to create unique propellers by changing blade shape, angle and number. Students need TeacherGeek tool sets to construct their boats. Lesson plans available for grades 3-8.
