Year 1 Waterproof Materials Investigation

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 1 Year: 2022 - 2023

Year 1 tested four different materials to see if they were waterproof. We found that paper and fabric were not waterproof and plastic and metal were! We decided that plastic would be the best material to use to make an umbrella.

We learned how to use pipettes to put drops of water onto each material. We put 20 drops onto each material and carefully observed to see what happened to the water.
