About This Project
What Can Kids Learn from the “Paddle Boat” Project?
Simple Machines in Action: Discover how wheels, axles, and paddles work to move objects.
Buoyancy & Water Resistance: Explore what makes a boat float and how water pushes back.
Engineering & Design: Build and test different paddle systems to see what works best.
Balance & Symmetry: Learn how to keep the boat stable and moving in a straight line.
Creative Problem-Solving: Tweak materials, shapes, and paddles for smoother motion.
Scientific Testing: Observe performance, make improvements, and try again!
Why It’s a Splash-Tastic Favorite:
Kids love building boats and watching them go! Paddle Boat teaches STEM concepts in a super fun way — and there’s nothing like seeing your boat paddle its way across a tub, pool, or sink with just the power of science.
