for science class I have to make a model boat using only some aluminum foil, 2 straws, 10 paper clips, some tape, and a small plastic bagthe objective of the experiment is to try to put the highest number of pennies on the boat while still keeping it afloatwhoever makes the boat hold the most pennies gets a 100how can i construct this boat to maximize how many pennies i can put on it, while still keeping it sailing?
You will know the load is there, but it will pull it without any problemsI pull 10,000 lbs at times with a 1991 half ton Chevy Suburban, once in awhile, it does it, the only reason I bring that up, is you think an older truck won't do itWould I do that everyday with my truck? no, 10k is something a one ton should be doingI brought my truck into the equation because you ask if an old truck will do it.

use the two straws as top side stringers attaching them together at the endsOpen all the paperclips up and poke them through the straws and bend them as hull formersuse the bag and tape as hull covering, taping to the straw stringers while the clips act as formersKeep the hull as large and rigid as possible to hold the most penniesIf you need a sail use the foil and tape in onUse long strips of tape to anchor the top of the sail to the craft so it wont blow overGood luckI think you'll winIf that's $100 cash prize money you can send me a few bucks ;-)
