Boston Tea Party STEAM

Today we combined science and social studies. Students are working in collaborative teams to design a water-tight container that could be used to keep tea dry when the container is dumped in a tub of water. One of the constraints is that they are only able to use materials that would have been available at the time of the Boston Tea Party. Today's task was for each team to make a sketch of their design. Our next step will be to begin building and testing our designs.
