Year 1 Science Day!

Year 1 Science Day!
 
Materials
Year 1 had a really super Science Day on Monday 17th March! First we designed an outfit for Billy Duck to help keep him dry when he was swimming. We investigated lots of different materials including felt, tissue paper, kitchen roll, cotton fabric and plastic. We found out that plastic was the best material to keep Billy Duck dry as it was waterproof!


 
 
Rocket Balloon Experiment
 
Next, we carried out a rocket balloon experiment. It was very exciting! We found out that a larger balloon would travel further along the string and a smaller balloon would travel a shorter distance. We talked about a forward motion called thrust. Thrust is a pushing force created by energy.
