Technology

We are learning to:

• Define specifications (features/ properties) for a boat that will float
• Design a boat that floats
• Create a boat and test/observe whether it floats
• Reflect on the results and discuss any changes you would make

We designed a boat using what we had learned in science about floating and sinking. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof, so that they wouldn’t soak up water and sink. 

Science

Cora chose an object from the classroom.

She then

• asked the question; will it sink or will it float?
• made a hypothesis stating what she thought would happen
• tested her hypothesis by placing her object in the water
• observed what happened and reflected on her hypothesis
