Science- a boat that floats!

Our topic in Science this half term has been everyday materials. Last week we designed a boat out of limited materials we had in our classroom. This week we made our boat models and tested them on the water outside. We found out that all of our boats could float for 10 seconds on the water but the boats that were made from thicker materials (such as egg boxes and card) lasted the longest. The children really enjoyed testing their boats and are looking forward to designing a real boat next week!
