Imagine having to build a boat. What would you use? Would cardboard even cross your mind as a prime building material?<\/p>\n
Each Year, Prairie South Schools hosts the Cardboard Boat Challenge for grade 8 students. This competition is sponsored by Skills Canada, and unites their critical thinking and practical skills with knowledge of buoyancy gathered in Grade 8<\/strong> Science. On May 12, Mrs. Lagass\u00e9<\/strong> and her young boatswains created four fine watercraft \u2013 entirely out of 2 sheets of cardboard, 1 roll of packing tape, and 1 roll of duct tape. Then they set sail\u2026 across the pool at the Kinsmen Sportsplex\u2026 powered entirely by the students riding in them<\/u>. All of our boats made it at least partway across the pool \u2013 which is a great accomplishment.<\/p>\n Congratulations to all on a job well done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagine having to build a boat.
