We decided as a class to make our own class life jacket. For this, we needed to investigate what kind of materials would be good to help the life jacket float. We discovered that empty plastic water bottles were best for the job! Lyle worked out that a full water bottle would sink in water.<br \/>\nBelow are some pictures of us investigating materials that float\/don\u2019t float and a little peek at our life jacket which is still in the process of being made.<br \/>\nThanks to Jack for taking the photos!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51851.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13569\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51851-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51841.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13568\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51841-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51831.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13567\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/files\/2019\/02\/IMG_51831-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone This week in our transport topic, the class wanted to learn about boats, in particular, speed boats!
