Raft
Design Challenge 1:
Stay Afloat
Surviving the terrible storm is only the beginning of my story. I have been stranded on what seems to be a deserted island. Fortunately, the wreckage of The Miss Adventure is hung up on a reef. My first challenge was getting supplies from the ship to the shore. This is what I did...
We drew our plans out on a piece of paper then showed  it to Mrs. Hamilton. Next we got together the pieces we needed and started to build.
To see what size pieces were used, sometimes we took apart the part and looked at it and put it back together again.
The way we made our pieces move was we clicked on them and experimented
with them and moved them around. It takes a lot of effort to work with the stubborn computer and it takes a lot of effort to build up patience when you are working with the computer because a lot of the time you lose the pieces you need to build with or you could lose the whole project altogether.
Then the computer shut down on us because of a mouse problem.


 
It was hard to put the propeller on.
The propeller was hard to put on.  It kept going on backwards and it wouldn't do what we wanted it to do.

The raft turned out better than we thought it would!
