This level 1 science investigation is to see what makes a waterproof fabric. Pupils can build a simple shelter and then cover it with various materials. They are tested by watering them and seeing if the toy gets wet and the shelter survives. The investigation can be used to start using ideas such as hypothesis and prediction as well as developing the concept of a Fair Test.
