Material: corks, toothpicks, paper, drawing pin (magnetic), small stick, string, U-shape 42
1. Build a raft of three corks; stick them together with toothpicks.
2. Design a sail of paper, take another toothpick as mast. Pin the paper at the toothpick and the toothpick at the middle of the corks. At front side of your boat pin a magnetic drawing pin into the cork.
3. Take a little stick and bind the horseshoe magnet at it (like an angle).
4. Fill a tub with water, put your boat in it and pull it with the help of your magnetic angle.
If you and your friends build more boats you can test who's the best in your own magnetic race.
