Building Things!

This half term during science lessons, we have been learning about materials and their properties to see which materials would make the best wall to use within a rainforest. The children have worked together to build the walls and we have then conducted experiments, first predicting which materials would be best and then completed the experiments to see which materials are the strongest and which materials are waterproof.
