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.


Photobucket This is the box we used.

Photobucket We cut it into the shape we needed.

Photobucket Then stuck it together.

Photobucket This picture shows the newspaper soking in the bowl of water.

Photobucket This is me smoothing the newspaper onto the boat frame (after plastering).

Photobucket The boat is now in the freezer.

PhotobucketIt floats! It stayed afloat for an hour and ten minutes.

I got this idea from a program called Mythbusters.
