We enjoyed finding a suitable material for an umbrella. We dropped water onto  a variety of materials and discovered which ones were waterproof. The shower curtain material was surprising as although it was showerproof, water did eventually come through this. Plastic and tin foil were the most waterproof materials. Thick denim was also quite waterproof, but many of us had tales to tell about when our jeans had got soaked on a rainy day!

At the end of the lesson, we tested Mrs Taylor’s umbrella and Alice stayed nice and dry. Miss Douglas was out with her class and she also had an umbrella with her. As it was made of a different material we asked to borrow it and Kayleigh can vouch for the fact that it kept her dry!
