Using data is an important part of an engineer's work. Second graders are organizing their data so that it is easier to see how each object they tested compares with all the others.
Can you figure out which object I am talking about?
Which object floats and is flexible?
It can't be the lego board, because even though it floats on top of the water, it doesn't bend, which means it's rigid. It must be the pipe cleaner, because it floats on the water and it bends, meaning its flexible!
