Kia ora whānau,
Room 9 is exploring a House of Science resource kit this week which is all about buoyancy. There are two main capabilities that we focus on for Science/Pūtaiao:
- Gathering and interpreting data (observation)
- Using evidence
Today the class had two challenges:
- Designing a boat from tin foil to hold as many metals washers as possible.
- Creating an object from various materials that would 'flink' (somewhere between sink and float) in the water.
Students observed how different boat designed acted in the water and adjusted the height and width of the hull. They also sorted the various objects into ones that sink or floated to create a 'flinking' object. It was an exciting and interactive day.
