Please do your research and pick the right materials to make your sailboat.

1) Include a picture of your sailboat
2) Explain why you choose the materials to make your sailboat
3) Be creative! ]]> 2018-11-05 15:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300525574 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300786235 I made this toy sailboat out of paper, chopsticks,toothpicks and two water bottles.
Step 1: attach a piece of paper to two water bottles.
Step 2: attach a pair of chopsticks to the paper
Step 3: poke a hole in the paper and put the toothpick through the chopsticks to secure the chopsticks.
Step 4: fold a piece of paper into a triangle and tape it to the chopsticks to secure it.
My reason for using these materials is because the water bottles are easy to float and the paper, chopsticks and toothpicks are lightweight yet strong enough to hold the sail in place.]]> 2018-11-06 00:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300786235 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300819568 STEP 1: Collect leaves and twigs
STEP 2: Make the frame with twigs by taping them together 
STEP 3: Glue the leaves closely together
STEP 4: use a big leaf as a sail
STEP 5: Tape the sail to the mast
STEP 6: Tape the mast to the frame  
STEP 7: Tape another stick to support the mast
As sticks and leaves are light and they can float easily in water, so I chose them to build my boat. 
However, when I tried to make it float, it sank so 
STEP 8:Glue on Styrofoam to the bottom of the boat.]]> 2018-11-06 04:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300819568 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300921021 I first put the bottle and the chopstick together and put the paper flag but fail 😭so I added two bottle caps to stabilise the boat.]]> 2018-11-06 11:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/300921021 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/301484177 1.I used sticks and dead logs from a tree,some string,and old test book.I used the sticks and dead logs for the base of the boat because it is strong and durable,and also waterproof and can float on water.I use the sheets of papre from the old textbook as it is light and can pick up wind easily.

step 2 : paint the toilet roll black and it become the chimney.
step 3 : stick the toilet roll on the box
step 4 : test whether it will float
yeah it is successful 😁
the reason why i chose plastic is because this is a water proof material and it float on water.

The paper was waxed with crayon before it was folded into a boat. I  accidentally nudged it  when it was in water and it SANK!!!!The paper got wet even though I waxed it:(

Attempt 2:
Step 1: Take 2 medicine  bottles and put 3 corks between them.
Step 2: Secure them together with 4 rubber bands.
Step 3: Poke a toothpick through the center cork.
Step 4: Make two slits in a small piece of paper and push it through the toothpick.]]> 2018-11-09 02:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302407012 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302836142 I used paper, chopstick and corks to make my sailboat.

The chopstick is to hold onto the sail as it is strong. For the sail, I took a plastic bag and cut it into a triangle, then I taped the top using normal tape and put it onto the chopstick. Then, I took another chopstick and used the bottom of the triangular plastic to wrap around the chopstick once. After that is done, I took the chopstick which was wrapped in plastic and used tape to stick it together with the other chopstick.
I also took a playmobile as I wanted a little decoration.]]> 2018-11-11 03:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302935121 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302949425         I used two empty drinking bottles as the hull as they are water proof and strong. They were also filled with air on the inside, so that it supports the rest of the boat.
       I used some ice-cream sticks to connect the two bottles together as they are strong.
        I used a straw to support the sail as it is water proof.
       I used the cover page of a magazine as the sail, as it is strong, waterproof and flexible.

      Step 1: Connect all ice-cream sticks together. Just leave one ice-cream stick not connected.
     Step 2 : The ice-cream stick that is not connected, cut a hole in it.
     Step 3 : Connect the two bottles together with the ice-cream sticks.
    Step 4 : Connect the piece of the magazine with the straw.
    Step 5 : Connect the ice-cream stick (single) to the straw which has the sail on it.
   Step 6 : Connect the ice-cream stick (single) to the rest of the ice-cream sticks.
Ta-da! That's how I made my sailboat!]]> 2018-11-11 07:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302949425 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302950606 I used a plastic box for the hull as it is waterproof.]]> 2018-11-11 08:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302950606 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302951290 Hull: I used a plastic food container for the hull as it is waterproof, has the ability to float on water and is strong.
Mast: I used a wooden skewer for the mast as it is strong and stiff. I secured the mast to the boat by poking it through a smaller face down plastic container which is meant to be a cabin and used blue tack to stick it to the hull and cabin.
Sail: To make the sail, I cut out four short wooden skewers which were used as the frame of the sail as they are strong and stiff. Then, I took a small piece of cloth which was slightly waterproof and stuck it over the toothpick frame as the cloth is flexible and a bit waterproof.]]> 2018-11-11 08:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302951290 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302952556 I used a empty egg carton as the hull as it floats on water .I used a straw to support the mast as it is strong .I then used some sticks to support the straw and the mast.

I used paper for the sail as it is flexible so it will bend easily when folded. I used a wooden chopstick for the mast as it is strong so it will not break.😃]]> 2018-11-11 10:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302959431 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302968654 I used a egg tray for the hull of the boat as it can float and is waterproof.  
I used a wooden chopstick as the mast of the boat as it strong and tall. 
I used a piece of paper as it can catch wind to help the boat move on water.]]> 2018-11-11 11:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302968654 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302968742 I used cardboard for the inside bottom part as it is light and easy to float. Magazines strippings, in the plastic bag which is used as it is waterproof , are used for decoration . My sail support is made of cardboard too as it is strong enough to hold up the flag, which is made of paper because it is light and the wind can blow it easily.
In this picture , my boat is being tested out in a sink filled with some water.]]> 2018-11-11 11:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302968742 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302969156 I used an empty plastic container as the hull, as it is strong, waterproof and can float on water.
I had to cut 2 slits on the edge of the container to allow the chopsticks to be slotted inside.
I used some wooden chopsticks as the mast, as it is strong and light.
I used rubber bands to keep the chopsticks in place. 
I used coloured paper as the sail as it is flexible and a little strong.
I used tape to stick the paper to the chopsticks so it would stay in place.]]> 2018-11-11 11:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302969156 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302971620 I used toothpicks for the base and I used paper for the mast.]]> 2018-11-11 12:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302971620 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302973980   For the hull, I used an ice cream box container which is plastic. Plasic is waterproof and does not allow water to pass through them. It can also carry people inside.
  For the sail, I used a piece of cut-out triangular plastic bag as it is light and can catch wind to move the boat along the water easily.
  For the mast, I used two straws as they are firm and supports and holds up the sail.

For the MAST, I used a disposable bamboo chopstick as BAMBOO is STRONG and FIRM.

For the SAIL, I used a piece of cloth as CLOTH is FLEXIBLE and can EASILY CATCH THE WIND.]]> 2018-11-11 14:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302984275 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302989252 2018-11-11 15:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302989252 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302989491 Jolin Kerk
Hull: I chose to use a longitudinally cut plastic bottle, as it is buoyant and rigid.
Sail: It was made of an old plastic bag which was lying around. I did not cut it so that I could disassemble and reuse the bag.
Steering wheel: I used the bottle cap from the bottle that I cut for the hull, drawing over it with a gold marker to create the steering wheel design.
Shelter. I used the cardboard backing of an old stack of foolscap paper.
Rudder: It was made of a small piece of gold coloured paper from a pile of art materials.]]> 2018-11-11 15:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302989491 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302992368 i used paper for the hull as it is lightweight and scotch tape at the bottom to make it waterproof.]]> 2018-11-11 15:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/302992368 https://padlet.com/amufsin/4Con/wish/303201726 Hull: I used 2 milk bottles for the hull as it can contain air and float. It is also waterproof and strong. 
Mast: I used wooden chopsticks as the wood can support the sail and is strong and waterproof so it will not absorb the water when a huge wave splashed onto the boat. 
Sail: I used plastic bags as plastic is waterproof and will not absorb the water when a huge wave splashed into the boat. 

The steps I took are:
1. I put the mik bottles side by side and then taped them together. 
2 I then slotted 2 chopsticks at the start and end of my boat. 
3. Following that, I cut a plastic bag into 2 parts, folded each of the chopsticks to make the sail.
