Experiment (horse-powered boat)

Okay, so have you ever seen a horse? They're big and strong and are really good at pulling things.
Now, imagine putting a horse on a boat and attaching a rope between the horse and the boat. When the horse starts walking, it pulls the boat along with it. This is called a horse-powered boat.

Scientists and inventors used to use horse-powered boats a long time ago to help transport things like food, clothing, and supplies. But now we have other ways to power boats, like engines that use fuel.

However, some people still like to use horse-powered boats because they're fun and environmentally friendly. Plus, horses are really cool animals and it's neat to watch them work.

To experiment with a horse-powered boat, people might try to figure out how fast the boat can go or how much weight it can carry. They might try different types of harnesses for the horse or different types of boats to see which ones work the best.

Overall, experimenting with a horse-powered boat is a fun way to learn about history, science, and animals all at the same time!
