Week 7: Nature Boats!

The goal of this activity is to test out different materials you find in nature to see how you can create a boat! It should float, be attractive, have a sail, and utilize at LEAST 3 different materials. Extra points for more parts and beautiful design. I encourage you to test out your designs and experiment with alternative options. Extra EXTRA credit for racing your boats; would love to see your winners!
