Toby our class Teddy really wanted to go for a walk on the beach but lost his other boot. During our science lesson Room 6 investigated different materials that they could use to create a new boot for Toby.

Each group predicted if each material would prevent Toby’s foot from getting wet. This was recorded on a worksheet before we began testing the materials.

We used rolled up pieces of newspaper which acted as Toby’s foot. This was covered with either plastic, paper, fabric, tissue or net. This was then dipped in the basin for 10 seconds. Everyone was great at taking turns.

Afterwards each group presented their results to the class. Room 6 found that Toby would be safe to wear a plastic boot to the beach until we find his real one!
