The Asteroids have been confident individuals during our science lesson on floating and sinking.
Firstly we made predictions about whether different objects would float or sink. After we predicted, we tested it out and recorded the results. Did it float or did it sink?
Then we talked about pirate ships and what would happen if the pirates found too much treasure and their ships sunk? We used pennies to try this out.
To test how many pennies it would take to make a pirate ship sink, we firstly make confident choices about which recyclable plastic container we wanted to use as our pirate ships.
Then we tried to predict how many coins it would take to sink our own ships. Test time: we had great fun filling our ships with coins and counting how many our ships took till they sunk. We noticed that bigger ships took more coins than smaller ships to sink!
Well done, Asteroids!
