In cooperative learning groups, students will construct a scale-model mooseskin boat using materials and tools similar to those used in the documentary. The class will build a scale model of a fast-flowing river that their boats must successfully navigate. While building the boats the students will record their use of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and environmental-studies knowledge and skills.
