Last week, our upper grade students participated in the Penny Boat Challenge while learning about the rainforest biome. Students considered surface area and weight distribution before constructing a boat made of aluminum foil. We may have some future engineers at TJ because the winning boat held 184 pennies. Nice work Davis, Gray, Lev, and Gracen!
