17 Oct Year 1 – Science – exploring materials
In Science this term, Year 1 have been exploring different materials. This week, they completed a scientific experiment where they tested four materials to find out if they were waterproof. They poured water on to the different material and observed to see if the water fell through the material or sat on top. They learned that if the water went through the material, then it was absorbent. If the water did not go through the material, then it was waterproof. The children had lots of fun testing the range of materials. They are excited to take part in their next experiment next week where they will be finding out which materials are opaque, transparent and translucent!
