The Problem:
When STEM dog was at the
beach, his balls would either float on top of the water or sink to the bottom
of the ocean. He didn't like either option so he challenged the young engineers
at Crossroads Elementary School to solve his problem.
The Challenge:
Engineer an object that
neither floats nor sinks. Instead it must flink, which is a combination of
float and sink.
After exploring
the buoyancy of the individual materials, the students worked in collaborative
teams to engineer something that would flink in the middle of their testing
tub. The designs went through countless iterations, and eventually, some of
these young engineers were successful in their endeavor.
