Your challenge is to create a cargo ship. The two goals are to:

2. be sturdy enough to hold the highest amount pennies without sinking for a set amount of time
You will be able to use the following materials:
-aluminum foil cut into 15 x 20 cm. piece
-wooden craft sticks
-drinking straws (cut in half)
-index cards
-toothpicks
-hot glue sticks
-scotch tape
Note:
-If your group rips the aluminum foil, and requests more, there is a penalty during the competition (subtract two pennies from the total weight at the end)
