Milk Bottle Boats.

Using Milk Bottles skewers and rubber bands several boys built sail and rubber band powered boats to race in the near by creek. This was a good learning opportunity for the boys involving sharing, design, and construction, which resulted in several different ideas. Sails and regular propellers where the most popular and one boat had an old fashioned paddle wheel.
