Annual Refrigerator Boat Regatta
The Class of 2022 joined the ranks of ESA students and alumni who have faced the challenge of the ninth grade Physical Science Refrigerator Boat Regatta. Equipped with a cardboard appliance box, caulk, duct tape, plastic ties, paint and a couple of weeks to work, each group of students crafted a boat designed to carry one passenger through a course at Spanish Lake, and to allow the paddler to pick a pumpkin up out of the water along the way. They also predicted the draft when loaded according to Archimedes' Principle.
