One of the most thrilling parts of Onam is the spectacular Vallam Kali, the snake boat race! For Day 4 of our TinkerOnam challenge, we're capturing that excitement by creating our own tiny boat that magically darts across the water with a single, invisible push. Get ready to launch your own champion! What You'll Need<ul><li>A piece of thick paper, cardstock, or a foam plate</li><li>Scissors</li><li>A large bowl, tray, or even a bathtub filled with water</li><li>Liquid dish soap</li></ul><hr>1-2-3... Wow! Step 1: Build Your Boat! Cut out a small, 2-inch boat shape from the card. A simple shape like a teardrop or a pointed oval works best. Cut a small, straight slit or notch at the flat "back" end of your boat.Step 2: Launch! Gently place your paper boat onto the surface of the still water. It will just float there, waiting for the race to start.Step 3: Add the Magic Fuel! Dip the tip of a toothpick (or your finger) into a tiny bit of dish soap. Now, carefully touch the soapy tip to the water right inside the notch at the back of the boat. WOW! The boat will instantly shoot forward and zip across the water as if powered by a motor! Get a shot from water-level to make the boat's launch look more dramatic.Use slow-motion to capture the instant acceleration.Try racing two boats against each other for extra fun!Don't forget the hashtag! #TinkerOnam and tag @<a target="_blank" href="http://YoungMinds.app">YoungMinds.app</a> to enter the contest! Parent Tip Just like in a real Vallam Kali, the first attempt might not work perfectly. The boat might sink or go sideways. This is a gift! Say, "Adyamathe race oru practice aayirunnu. Adutha raceinu, nammude boat engane koode vegathil aakkam?" (The first race was a practice. For the next race, how can we make our boat even faster?). This celebrates resilience and the spirit of improvement. The Science Secret This amazing propulsion system is powered by Surface Tension! The surface of the water is like a thin, stretchy, invisible skin held together by water molecules attracting each other. Dish soap is a special substance called a "surfactant," which means it's an expert at breaking surface tension. When you add the soap at the back of the boat, you break the water's "skin" there. The strong, unbroken surface tension at the front of the boat then pulls the water (and the boat with it) forward, away from the weaker, soapy area. This creates the powerful forward thrust!
