Science Day in Year 1

Year 1 loved Science Day! We read a story about some animals who got caught in the rain and decided we would like to help them by designing an umbrella to keep the animals dry. We realised we would need to find a material that was waterproof so we set out to investigate which materials are waterproof and which are not. We designed a test which you can see in the pictures below. To make it fair, we chose to use 1 pipette of water for each material.

We also really enjoyed our parent workshop! We showed the parents our investigation from the day and then completed a science challenge with them.
