Aluminum Foil Boat Project?

For my engineering class, I need to make an aluminum foil boat out of a 12quot; by 12quot; piece of aluminum, 7 straws, and scotch tapeIt needs to hold 100 pennies, and I'm not sure how to accomplish this, any help would be great :DThanks

Answer:

Determine the weight of 100 penniesSince the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter (cc), the weight in grams is the volume of water your boat must displaceEureka! - see Archimedes
