LET’S GET TO WORK!

  • We will be using electricity in water! The battery does not create enough energy to shock you!
  • BE CAREFUL OF THE PROPELLER! It spins fast and will hurt if you touch it, BUT you will not get cut.

​

  • Mr.Carr and I will help show you how to make your boat

​

  • If you get lost there are directions in the packet!
