We are scientists!

As scientists this half term we have explored materials. First we were set the challenge of deciding how to sort a set of objects according to their properties which involved lots of discussion!

Next we investigated how we could change the shape of objects without breaking them. We tried bending, squashing, twisting and stretching which was great fun!

Then we had a letter from Captain Peel who wanted us to help him find the best material to make a canopy to cover his ship and keep it dry. We tested a range of materials to find the best one for the job.

I wonder what we will be investigating this week?
