This term in Science, we have been learning about all different types of materials and their properties. The Prep students have been exploring properties of different materials looking at how they feel, the strength of the objects and whether they are waterproof. The Prep students have had to choose specific materials to create a wind chime that can be hung outside. The Year 1 students have been looking at how they can 'physically' change a material to make it stronger, as well as investigating what type of objects will float or sink. The Year 1 students needed to choose a specific material to make a boat that floats. Once students built their boat, they were able to test it in the water and then add two marbles to see if it was going to float or sink.
