P5A have been learning about buoyancy and density in their topic work this week. First we tested different classroom objects to see if they would float or sink, then we completed a STEM challenge, creating boats out of craft materials. We tested them to see how buoyant they were. If they didn’t stay afloat we tried to amend our designs to improve their buoyancy. Pupils had great fun doing this and used numerous meta-skills in the process such as adapting, showing initiative, collaborating with others and using their creativity and critical thinking skills. Well done P5A!
