This week in P1 our homework was to design and make a boat that would float when put in water🙂 We had great fun testing out our boats in the water tray during play time🙂⛵💦 The real test came when we added some weight to the boats by putting in some compare bears- there was great competition to see whose boat would hold the most without sinking!
We discussed the different materials that had been used and discovered that paper & card looked good but was not waterproof🙂 Some people had made their boats stronger by adding tinfoil or plastic wrapping around the cardboard but eventually these let in some water! We also discovered that some containers had tiny holes so these let in water too😂 The best boats were those made from strong plastic- Well done P1! 👏
