Building Boats!

We investigated how the shape of a material affects whether it floats or sinks. We have learnt that weight doesn’t matter. We made different shape boats and tested how much each boat cold hold before sinking!
   
    
 

Making Materials Bags

Today we had a group challenge. We had to use our senses to explore a range of different materials and describe them. We had a list of properties and had to collect an item for each property, such as smooth or stretchy.  We tested each other’s bags to make sure they had a material for each property on the list!
