The LDHS AP Physics 1 students participated in the "1st Annual Raider Regatta" today at the Laurens Family YMCA pool. Students were tasked with designing and building a boat made out of only cardboard, plastic bottles, duct tape, and plastic tablecloths. The boats were required to carry a team member from one end of the pool to the other. All four teams who participated were successful in completing the challenge. Additionally, we had fun incorporating the Engineering Design Process with concepts learned in class (buoyant forces, center of mass, Newton's Laws, etc.)
