This week the children in room 1 and 2 investigated the best materials to keep us warm in winter.

The children were able to talk about and show materials that keep us warm such as, jumpers, boots, coats, hats, scarves and gloves.

They planned to try out 3 materials – felt (like fleecy jumpers and cosy pyjamas), cotton wool (like woolly jumpers and hats) and shiny material (like waterproof coats).

They covered 3 plastic bottles with the different materials and then poured in hot water and recorded their predictions.

The children enjoyed using the thermometers to record changes.

Finally they made their conclusions when the result showed the wool was the best material with the felt coming a close second.

Great science work children.
