Science metal boat question?

so i'm suppose to make a boat out of some sort of metal and has to fit in a 15 by 15 cm area.the boat has to be less than the weight of 10 pennies and has to hold at least 50.questions:1what kinds of metal should i use? i'm thinking of using aluminum foilanything else?2should i make a specific design? my first prototype looks like a tuna can shape

Answer:

Aluminum foil is just about the only thing that would meet the conditions of this experimentIf I were you, I would make it bowl shaped and as big as you can get it, in the space allowed.
That is a cute idea!!Might have to try it.
