Year 1 Science
This week we have been continuing to look at materials. We have been investigating materials that are stretchy. We received a request from Mrs Grinling (The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch) if we could find her a stretchy material that covers her new picnic basket. We looked at seven different materials including a plastic glove, kitchen cloth, latex glove, metal foil, Lycra, a bandage and polyester. The children had to predict which material would be the best and then investigate by measuring how far each material stretched. It seems that Mrs Grinling will have to use Lycra as her cover for the basket as this turned out to be the material with the most stretch and flexibility.
