SLJ (W4/A34): Kick Start Float Your Boat

 LI: To create a paper boat and share the results.


The above series of slides is the sixth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a paper boat and see if it floats on water. I then watched the video tutorial and followed it step by step. To make the boat, I recycled paper because I didn't want to waste a fresh paper. After making the boat, I filled a bucket with water and clicked its picture when it was floating. A tip that I would give to others who haven't made this origami yet, is to press the folds properly so the boat can be durable. I loved completing this activity because I thought I became a little creative as I created lines on the boat as a pattern and it crossed the writing on the paper making it look more designed. I am very excited to complete the second part of this activity as well.

    It’s Shannon from the Summer Learning Journey.

    What a fantastic post. I love how you have created a slideset to show how to assemble the boat, and included different angles of the finished product! Your boat looks incredible, and I love how you have added a pattern to the paper!

    How long did it float for? What things do you think you could do to make a boat float better?

    Perhaps you could add a screencastify to your post of yourself making the boat!

    Happy blogging!

    Ka kite anō,
