\"yr-3-materials-jan-2015Year 3 Dolphins have been busy looking at different \u2018materials\u2019 in science. First, we identified what \u2018materials\u2019 objects around the school were made of. For example our chairs are made of plastic, metal and rubber and our books are made from paper, card and metal. We then looked at the \u2018properties\u2019 (characteristics) of particular materials, using our wonderful adjectives to describe them \u2013 rubber is flexible, soft, strong and waterproof <\/em>while metal is strong, rigid, smooth, waterproof<\/em> and it can be shiny. <\/em><\/p>\n

We then decided to place our Scientist Hats on and find out which paper material <\/em><\/strong>was the most absorbent. So we gathered different papers and devised a \u2018fair test\u2019 looking at which variable<\/strong> we were going to change (paper) and which variable<\/strong> we were going to keep the same (amount of drops of water).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check out how carefully we placed the drops on each paper and how we recorded our results. Which paper would you have predicted to be the most absorbent? \u2013 tissue paper, writing paper, paper towel, toilet tissue or wax paper? Ask the Year 3\u2019s what they discovered\u2026 and about the extra fun they had at the end of the session!<\/p>\n
