Tin Foil Ship
We were given a piece of tin foil to make into our ship. We formed a rectangular flat-bottomed ship with short sides all around it from our piece of tin foil. Next, using the formula to find the volume of an object, we calculated the volume of the ship that we had created. Then, to get our prediction, we used a calculation that took the volume of our ship, multiplied the volume of our ship by the density of the water and divided that answer by the weight of a penny. After that, we placed our ship into a container of water, and keeping an accurate count, placed one penny at a time into our ship until it sank to the bottom of the container of water. After that, we subtracted the predicted number of pennies from the actual number of pennies to
