Investigating Materials

The Pioneers continue to investigate materials and have carried out some experiments to find out about their properties. 

This week we posed the questions,”Will it stick?” and “Is this the best hat if it is wet?” The Pioneers can read both of these questions which feels very nice.

After making predictions, we tried out magnets on different surfaces and recorded our results by drawing and writing-lid, track, duck, peg, leg and pins. We used Grapheme Mats to support this writing.

Our second experiment of the week was to investigate waterproof and water repellent materials. We talked about the features of the hats in our dressing up box then set about testing our predictions. We got a bit wet!
