Paper Islands

Paper Islands

Introduction:

This activity will get the whole family involved! Give each person joining this challenge a sheet of paper, some tape, and a pair of scissors. Using these materials, build a paper island that can float in a bowl of water. Then, add some loose change to your island until it slowly starts to sink. See whose island can hold the most money! Mine only held 6 cents before sinking - I am sure you can do better.

Materials:

8.5"x11" sheets of paper, tape, loose change, scissors, and a large bowl or sink
