Testing Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
A topic that can be difficult for students to visualize, is balanced and unbalanced forces. Here year 7s (students ages 11-12), had to build a paper boat that would hold the most amount of weights when in water.
This challenge had students think about where the weights would be placed on the boat and how the boat needed to be built to hold them.
Here is one of the winners!
