Paper Boats Update

Feb-1-2009 By Roberta

For a quick update on the floating paper boats, the yellow legal pad boats lasted for five days before they got soggy and sunk. The gum wrapper boat was still going strong. I tried to find out if there was anything special about yellow legal pad paper, but other than the yellow dye that is added, I wasn’t able to come up with much. Do you have any ideas?
