Make a Toy Sailboat

A sailing science activity from Science Buddies

By Science Buddies & Ben Finio

Flip or float? Built a tiny boat that can really set sail--with the help of a little physics. 

George Retseck

Key concepts Physics Forces Weight Buoyancy Gravity Center of mass

Introduction It's time to set sail! Even if you don’t live near a lake or ocean, you will get to do some sailing in this science activity as you build your own toy sailboat. But first you have to make sure your boat doesn’t capsize! Are you up for the challenge?

Background Do you remember playing with toy boats in the bathtub—or have you ever been on a real boat? Boats can float because of buoyancy. At the same time they are pulled down by the force of their own weight (caused by gravity) they are pushed up by the buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the volume of water they displace. (You can find a more detailed explanation of buoyant force in the “More to explore” section.) Some boats are made of materials that are less dense than water, meaning they have less mass per unit volume. These materials will always float. Other boats, however, are made of metals such as steel, which are much denser than water. So how do they float? They can because they’re hollow, so there is a lot of empty air space inside the boat’s hull. The average density of the boat (including both the metal and the air) is lower than the density of water.

Boats don’t just need to float—they also need to stay upright and avoid capsizing, or flipping over. To do this they need a low center of mass, meaning their weight is concentrated toward the bottom of the boat, not the top. That might seem like it would be a problem for sailboats, which have very tall sails that stick way up into the air. How do they stay balanced with so much mass concentrated way up high? They do so with another part called the keel, which is on the bottom of the boat. (If you’ve only ever seen a sailboat from above the water, you might not even know the keel existed!) The keel is a big part under the boat, shaped like a fin, which serves two purposes. It holds the ballast, or heavy weight, that helps lower the boat's center of mass. It also helps prevent the boat from being blown sideways by the wind. In this project you’ll see how a keel can help keep a sailboat from flipping over and help it go straight.

Three wine corks

Two rubber bands

Several screws or nails

Waterproof material, such as craft foam, wax paper or paper milk carton to make a sail

Aluminum foil

Sink, bathtub or a large container you can fill with water (The container should be deeper than the length of your nails/screws.)

Preparation

Fill your container with water. Make sure the water is deep enough so you can vertically submerge your longest nail/screw.  

Line up three corks (side by side, not end to end).

Use two rubber bands to hold the corks together, forming a “raft.”

Poke a toothpick into the center cork, so it sticks straight up. This is your boat’s mast (the part that holds the sail).

Cut a square of your thin waterproof material to make a sail. It should be about six centimeters square.

Poke the toothpick through opposite ends of the sail (near the edges) to hold it in place.

You’ve made your first sailboat! Put it in the water. What happens?

Blow on the sail from behind. What happens?

Now make a skinnier boat by removing the rubber bands and the two outer corks. Keep the sail in place. Depending on how you attached the sail initially, you might need to rotate it 90 degrees.

Put your new sailboat back in the water. What happens?

Uh-oh! Your sailboat probably tipped over! That’s not good. To fix it, try adding a keel. Carefully stick a nail or screw into the bottom of the boat, directly opposite the sail.

Try putting the boat back in the water. Does it stay upright this time?

If your boat doesn’t stay upright, keep adding nails or screws (in a straight line with the first one) until it can float without tipping over.

Now try blowing on the sail again. What happens? Does your boat move in a straight line?

Right now, your keel is made of one or more nails/screws, but they are not connected to one another. Cut a rectangular piece of aluminum foil and tightly wrap it around the nails/screws to make a fin shape.

Put your boat back in the water and try blowing on the sail again. What happens this time? Does it go straight?

Extra: Try making a bigger sail and using part of a wooden skewer for the mast instead of a toothpick. How heavy does your ballast need to be to balance the boat with a bigger sail? Hint: Try attaching a horizontal nail/screw to the bottom of your keel to act as ballast. That way you don't have to keep poking more nails/screws into the cork.

Observations and results Your first sailboat was probably pretty stable because it was very wide (made from three corks). When you removed two corks to make it skinnier, however, your sailboat probably became unstable and tipped over. It’s similar to standing with your feet tightly together instead of spread out slightly—it’s harder to balance. When you added nails/screws to the bottom of your sailboat you lowered its center of mass and made it more stable. Individual vertical nails, however, don’t do a very good job pushing against the water—the water can flow right around them. That means the keel doesn’t do a good job making the boat go straight. If you blew on the sail, your boat might have curved off to one side or spun in circles. When you wrapped the nails in aluminum foil you made the keel more like a fin. It can cut through the water very easily in one direction, but it provides a lot of resistance against the water in the other direction. That makes it easier for your boat to move forward, and harder for it to move sideways. This is why real sailboats can be long, skinny and have tall sails—the keel prevents them from tipping over and helps them go straight!

As Boar's Head recall-linked death toll climbs, here's what to know

By Kate Gibson

Edited By Anne Marie Lee

Updated on: August 29, 2024 / 5:31 PM EDT / CBS News

As the tally of those stricken in a nationwide listeria outbreak tied to recalled Boar's Head deli meat rises, federal health officials are urging Americans to check their refrigerators for the products, some with sell-by dates into October.

The largest such outbreak since one linked to cantaloupes more than a decade ago has killed at least nine people and hospitalized 57 in 18 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an update on Wednesday. 

The Sarasota, Florida-based deli meat and cheese company last month expanded its recall to include more than 3,600 tons of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products sold under the Boar's Head and Old Country brands.

Records released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture disclosed unappetizing conditions at the Boar's Head plant in Jarratt, Virginia, where the implicated products were produced. USDA inspectors found mold, mildew and insects throughout the facility, which has suspended operations for now. 

Here's a rundown of what happened and what people should know:

What happened?

A Boar's Head liverwurst sample tested positive for the outbreak strain of listeria in testing last month by the Maryland Department of Health, prompting the expanded  recall . 

The 18 states where the 57 cases in the latest outbreak took place include Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. 

The first case was reported on May 29, 2024, and the last occurred on Aug. 16, 2024. 

Some people are suing Boar's Head after eating the company's products, according to the Associated Press. That includes lifelong liverwurst lover Sue Fleming, 88, who was hospitalized for more than a week with a listeria infection; and Ashley Solberg, who claimed in a lawsuit that she had "nearly lost her unborn child" after contracting the illness.

Still, recent illnesses may have yet to be reported as it typically takes three to four weeks to determine if an illness is part of an outbreak, according to the CDC. Further, the real number of sick people in the outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, as some recover without medical care or being tested for listeria. 

What is listeria?

According to the CDC, listeria is a hardy germ that can remain on surfaces such as meat slicers and foods, even when refrigerated. It can take up to 10 weeks for some people to develop symptoms of listeriosis. Listeria spreads easily among equipment, surfaces, hands and food. 

The bacteria can contaminate many foods, and listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the U.S. Each year an estimated 1,600 Americans are infected with listeria and 260 die from it. 

An outbreak in 2011 linked to cantaloupes inflected 147 people and killed 33 across 28 states, according  to  the CDC.

Who is most at risk?

People who are pregnant, 65 and older or those with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of serious illness or death from a listeria infection. Those with symptoms including fever, muscle aches, tiredness should call a health care provider. Other symptoms include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance or seizures.

Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth, as well as serious illness or death in newborns.

The infection is typically diagnosed with a sample from an ill person's body fluid or tissue, and treatment depends on the severity of the illness. People with diarrhea should drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration. Those with an invasive illness are treated with antibiotics. 

What should consumers do?

Do not eat recalled deli meats. Refrigeration does not kill listeria, but reheating to a high enough temperature before eating will kill any germs that may be on these meats. 

People who are generally healthy and not at a higher risk of serious infection should throw recalled items away or return them to the store.  Clean your refrigerator, containers and any surfaces that may have come in contact with the recalled meats. 

What Boar's Head products were recalled?

Boar's Head ready-to-eat liverwurst products:

• Produced between June 11, 2024, and July 17, 2024, with a 44-day shelf life
• "Boar's Head Strassburger Brand Liverwurst made in Virginia"
• 3.5 pound loaves in plastic casing, or various weight packages slided in retail delis
• Sell by days ranging from July 25, 2024, to Aug. 30, 2024

All deli products, including prepackaged items, from the Virginia facility. Look for 'EST. 12612" or "P-12612" inside the USDA inspection mark on the product labels.

The complete list of recalled products can be found here . Recalled product labels can be seen here .

In a statement, a Boar's Head spokesperson said the company deeply regrets the impact of the recall, and that food safety is their "absolute priority."
