SetPoint visited Class 2 to deliver a science workshop linked to their learning about everyday materials. During the workshop, they were encouraged to explore a range of materials and to discuss their properties.
Following on from this activity, we thought about why material properties make them suitable for different purposes. They were challenged to find a good material for making a raincoat for one of the three little pigs.
They sprayed water onto paper, foil, plastic, sugar paper, cotton and greaseproof paper to determine the effectiveness in keeping the rain out. They really enjoyed the practical elements of the workshop and worked well with their partners to solve an everyday problem.
“This was the best workshop. I had so much fun!” Jackson
“I really enjoyed using the special pen!” Lena – talking about using the wax to waterproof paper.
