After spending time reading and learning about the Boston Tea Party as part of our Road to Revolution unit, fifth grade students were challenged to create a boat out of popsicle sticks, a strip of tape and glue sticks. They were trying to get their tea bag to stay dry. We tested all the boats, and had a clear winner! The students who used the glue as a barrier across the bottom of their boat, reinforcing with the strip of tape, and made several layers to keep their tea bag safe.
