AP Physics Students Building a Better Cardboard Boat

AP Physics students in Stephanie Parker’s class recently tested out their design know-how in a rather unusual way: Build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape that could safely make it across a swimming pool. The teams of students tested their designs June 5, at the Wayside Swim & Racquet Club.

Shown are juniors Peter DePersio and Monique Lopes getting into their boat, and sophomore Jennie O’Leary making her way across the pool.
