Ice boat
Posted by Ben | Posted on 12:57
Yesterday, I made a boat out of newspaper. Of course the newspaper was wet, otherwise it wouldn't freeze. So, we used a cardboard box and cut it into the shape we wanted. Then, we plastered it with wet newspaper (about four layers). We stuck it in the freezer for 24 hours and then, TA -DA! We had an ice boat.
This is the box we used.
We cut it into the shape we needed.
Then stuck it together.
This picture shows the newspaper soking in the bowl of water.
This is me smoothing the newspaper onto the boat frame (after plastering).
The boat is now in the freezer.
It floats! It stayed afloat for an hour and ten minutes.
I got this idea from a program called Mythbusters.
