Soaking science week

So far this week has been a blast. The children have had the opportunity to learn all about weight and floating and sinking. We started the week by understanding what floating and sinking meant. We have then based a lot of our work on the book who sank the boat. We made predictions of who we thought would cause the boat to sink, we thought about why this was and then tested to check if we were right.
We have moved on to learning about boats and what makes a good boat, this will help us later in the week when we make our own boats and test them out in the water.

Science week

Year 1 have had an amazing week learning all about floating and sinking.  We started by creating a definition of what thet meant. We looked at weight and the effect this can have on whether something floats or sinks. We looked at the book who sank the boat and made predictions. We even learned how to write a conclusion. We tested if we were right. We ended the week by understanding what made a good boat and we even made boats to test. What a great week we  had.

Year 1 test to see if their boats float!
