Question:

How do you build a durable boat using aluminum foil?

For science class, we are building boats from a square of aluminum foil 15 cm by 15 cm to hold as many pennies as possibleI have no clue how to accomplish this, so I'm asking youWe're aiming for 100+ pennies, the record is 116What do I do to build this boat?Thanks :D

Answer:

Use the thick foil and before bending it into the shape of a boat, put creases in it to make it strongerYou need to make the foil look like corrugated roofing sheetsOnce you have done this, crimp the ends of the boat (bow and stern) to make them water-tight.
