After investigating how the shape of an object impacted its movement in water when dropped, we have been using our findings to design boats. We designed and constructed boats with streamlined features that would cut through the water and reduce the impact of water resistance. Additionally, a second boat was designed and created which aimed to increase the effect of water resistance. Our boats were tested and confirmed our ideas; however, sadly some of the boats did not make it through their maiden voyage.
Next week, we shall be looking at mechanisms and how they benefit us in our every day life.
