Engineering & Design Activity Challenge

Your Task:
In your group -
1.  Design a boat that propels forward in water without being pushed or pulled.  (Your boat must travel a minimum of 20 cm.)  Make sure you label your design and include an explanation. (Point form is fine!)
2.  Do some research to see if your idea is plausible.
3.  Stick with your original idea/modify/or completely change your design.
4.  Assemble all materials and test your design.
Note:  Keep track of all your thoughts and ideas as you prepare your final design. I like to see your thinking! (Diagrams/pictures/words...)
