This week Year Two have been learning about material testing in their science lessons. We have been studying a wide range of materials and selecting them for different purposes. This week they were set the challenge of selecting and using the appropriate materials to build a pirate ship that can float and actually sail.
We discussed what materials can float and what materials are used on real pirate ships. We then planned our initial designs on paper templates and the next day, transformed these designs into real life pirate ship models that we look forward to testing to see if they float and sail! We had so much fun pretending to be pirate ship designers!
