Synopsis

Through creating simple clay kayak models, students in grades six and seven are able to investigate the relationship between the kayak?s shape and its function. By exploring these relationships, students are guided into a series of purposeful mathematical investigations using the scientific method. They collect, organize and analyze data by developing tables, converting tables into graphs, interpreting graphs and using basic statistical techniques to determine whether there is a relationship between form and function.
