*Reading – make sure that you are reading for at least 10 minutes per day.

Listen/watch carefully to see how the boat rights itself when tipped over in the water.  Why is it important that a boat can do this?

We will be making our own self-righting boats in school.  See if you can have ago using the resources and information below.
