Penny Boat Lab: Density, Buoyancy and Archimedes
This is a one period activity/lab to teach students about the concept of density and Archimedes Principle, why things float. Students each get a piece of aluminum foil and design and make a boat. They then must calculate how many pennies it will carry before sinking, and then test it. This is an excellent one day STEM project that combines science, math, design and construction. Students will use the formula Density=Mass divided by Volume.

Supplies
You will need many pennies for this lab
15 each of 1981 and older ones and 1983 and newer ones per group.
Triple balance beam per group or a central few
Small graduated cylinder approximately 50mL
I did this with my 6th grade science class, it give them a hands on comparison that density is different from volume and that density of the same materials stays the same no matter the weight.
