Lego Challenge #21

**This was borrowed DIRECTLY from this site.**


Quest #21 - Buoyancy

Can you create a marine vessel out of LEGO that floats?

You may need to experiment with several designs until you create one that works the way you want it to.

I would like your photo submission to show your creation in water, either floating, or perhaps in its sunken state, whichever you choose.

If you would like to take this a step further, you can place heavier objects like marbles or coins in your boat to see how many it can hold before it sinks. I'd love to hear all the details and so would everyone else!


This was fun! Of course the first attempts sunk because they were top heavy. Then we looked at a one-piece lego canoe we have (it came with the camper set). It floated so how could we copy that shape? 

Here is what the boys came up with.


Needless to say, they played in the sink a lot today!
