PROBLEM:
We have expensive resources that we need to get to Egypt. With the Nile Rivers
huge waves, we have to build a design that will float down the water and not
overturn. It has to withstand all the troubles of the Nile and carry the important
goods.

HYPOTHESIS:
Our flotation device is made of plastic, it has four tall sides. It has floating noodles
attached to the top of the bins four walls. We hypothesize that it will float due to
the weight of the bin and the buoyancy of the noodles.

EXPERIMENT:
The experiment was to take the bin to a body of water, place a full 8 oz. aluminum
Coke can in the bin to see if it will float. It worked, the experiment worked. The bin
floated so well, we did not even need the noodles.

CONCLUSION:
The expensive goods were transported safely and the bin allowed us to do this with
speed and durability. It worked just like we planned. We have transported Coke to
Egypt.
