Can You Use Magnetic Force to Power Your Boat?

 

Here is your mission if you choose to accept it!


Here's your STEM store!  You have a total of $15 to spend.

This is what happened:
 
 
Connor's group made their boat out of cardboard but when they put it in the water it didn't float. 
Pierce's group used a plastic bottle with yarn but they couldn't get the magnet to power it.
Olivia's group used a plastic bottle also with a magnet taped to the bottle cap and the end of the tub of water, but the magnet didn't always power it.
Sarah Reilly's group used a powerful magnet inside the plastic bottle and a magnet at the end of the tub of water and it seemed to fly toward the other magnet.
