In Class 11 we investigated the best material to keep an astronaut warm in space. We used our knowledge of thermal insulators and made predictions about which material would be the best insulator using wool, foil, plastic, paper and felt. We ensured our test was fair and worked as a Read more…
In class 6 we had a very exciting day on Wednesday! Traction Man came into class… he needed. New suit for his next adventure and wanted us to help him pick what material would keep him nice and dry. Luckily, we have been investigating out materials in Science, so we Read more…
