Your task
Is each sentence true or false?
- A floating boat pushes water aside, and the water pushes back up. A wide hollow shape holds air, so it can float.
- Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
- Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
- Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
- Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.
In real life
Huge steel ships float because their hollow hulls push aside a lot of water.
Shipbuilders
