Materials topic

Primary 2 have started their new science topic of 'materials'.  We will be learning about the properties of different materials (are they strong, waterproof, flexible, transparent? etc) and finding out how materials can change with different temperatures.

So far we have learned about what things are made of and we can group them into solids, liquids and gases.  Some materials can change from one to the other.
We made liquid water and paint become solid ice last week and had lots of fun making pictures with them (until they melted!)

Today Primary 2 worked in groups and had to use lots of skills; good team work, creativity, design ideas and budgeting!  They had a challenge to build a 'boat' for a little character but could only use materials I would sell them.  We will be testing the boats tomorrow.
