Abby's 4th Grade Science Night

Greenbrier's annual event for 3rd and 4th graders. Kids choose whether to compete in penny barge, straw tower building, paper airplane throw or egg drop.  After triumphing in egg drop last year, Abby decided to try her luck at penny barge.  Kids get a sheet of tin foil and a basin of water.  Whoever can stack the most pennies on their "barge" without sinking it wins (sunk boats score zero):

Complete concentration

Should we stop?
