Science and Technology

Floating and Sinking

Equipment: Clay, Water, Container

What did we do?
1-  We looked pictures of boats.
2-  We talked about the shape of boats
3-  Miss Tupai brought the clay and we saw it sink to the bottom of the container
4-  - Miss Tupai changed the shape of the clay to look like the bottom of a boat and it floated.
5-  We then had a try…




Results: Luke was the only one that could make the clay float.

What have we learned?
That the boats shape is what makes it float on water. It is very important to have this shape or your boat will sink. There can be no holes in the boat or water will get in and it will sink.

Statistics

We have been learning about some ways we could present data.
Data is the information on a chart.
It is important to have a title because it tells us what the data is.
