Test it out in the garden or during your daily walk.
Does the car move faster or slower on a ramp? Why/why not?
Float your Boat!
Using a variety of materials to make boats out of junk e.g. wood, plastic , paper, polystyrene etc.
Make a prediction about whether or not they will float and then test them to see which floats the longest. Can you write a report about which boat floated for the longest and why?
Brilliant Boats
- Use tinfoil to create a simple boat design.
- Try testing it by seeing how many coins it will hold.
- What shape makes the best boat?
- Don’t forget to recycle the tinfoil after using it!
Work hard, be kind and have a fun day. I will be back with you tomorrow!
