To build classroom unity, we had a friendly aluminum foil boat making competition. Students were given two pieces of aluminum foil and 5 minutes to make a boat with it. Then we tested each boat to see which would hold the most pennies.  I was very impressed by how creative they were! The winners of the competition were on table 6 with a grand total of 100 pennies!
