Year 4 have been coming to the rescue after recieving a letter from Spartacus asking them to design him a new Roman sandal!
Spartacus needed the best possible sole for his sandal which would give him the best grip - to escape from the lion he was fighting!
Year 4 worked in teams to create and carry out a science experiment to decide which material would be the best for him. Their next job will be to make a mini version of the sandal!
What a fantastic idea to look at materials and their properties, surfaces and friction.
ReplyDeleteI hope they come up with lots of ideas for all weather, sure they will. It is great to see them so involved with their investigation.
