Keel Boat Model Project- Up the Missouri with Lewis and Clark

Field trip to Hell's Gate State Park and participating with the ranger at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center there is set! Feb. 27, 2015 We'll leave and have the whole day there!

These pictures are the start of the kids learning create the template pieces for their keel boat which is a model of the one Lewis and Clark used in the trip up the Missouri River in 1804. They are practicing reading the diagrams. Area measurements for each part of the keel boat are measured, cut and will be transferred to cereal boxes. The cereal boxes are the abundant resource over buying balsa wood. That might be the next Donor's Choose... The cut outs will be taped together. Will it float? We shall see...
