Well, we are doing it for a class experiment it's called "float my boat" and we've done numerous trials. It actually works very well. We have constructed 3 different shaped aluminium boats and tested how many pennies we could fit. The square shaped ones held the most amount of pennies.

I built about 15 boats one being 8 feet long and 2 being seven and various others. my seven foot long boat carried 43 1/64th scale cars, 13 metal airplanes, 5 magnetix builds. and seven dollars worth of coins with some army men also. my eight foot boat hasn't floated yet but it is twice as strong. about twice as wide and various other betters.

We did this project at school, and we used a piece of foil that was 10cm by 10cm, and another that was 20cm by 20cm. We used pennies to sink the boat. My 10cm boat held only 12, but my 20cm boat held 79!

i doesn't like the project at first but it turned out to be a great success. We had a design competition and yay our massive ship with the area doesn't like my guess 113 it was 126 pennies. The reason theat we won is because we doesn't use to much paper but we have lots of surface area.

Hey my name is Maggie! My G. T. class went to the science lab. My large tin foil boat held 11 pennies. I guessed it hold 10 pennies. My guess was very close. It was a sooo cool! I want to do this project again. Thanks!
