This week was British Science Week. Class 4 carried out out a science investigation to find out which material would be the best to use to make a pair of curtains for the three bears, after Goldilocks ripped their old curtains when she tried to escape out of the window!
We tested five different materials – paper, foil, plastic, wood and fabric.
We held the materials up to the light to find out whether they were transparent or opaque.
We tried bending the materials to find out if they were flexible or rigid.
We pulled and stretched the materials to find out if they were strong.
Our findings showed that the fabric was the best material to use as it was soft, opaque, flexible and strong.
