In Science this week, we have been learning all about the different materials things can be made from and the properties that they have.
We sorted items in the classroom by the material they were made from and we investigated which materials will float and which will sink at the water tray.
Below are some of things we discovered:
Lewis – ‘Stones sink.’
Jack – ‘You can get things made from fabric, wood, metal and plastic.’
Olivia – ‘Money sinks.’
Liam – ‘Toy cars are made from plastic. You can twist plastic.’
Aiden – ‘Some plastic things float but not heavy ones.’
Our next step is find out how different materials are used in the world and what purposes they are best suited for. We will then use what we have learned to design and create our own toy.
