Primary 1 – Design & Technology – Autumn 2
This half term P1 investigated boats in preparation to design and create their own floating boat.They began by conducting experiments to find out which materials were waterproof and whether materials would sink or float in water. The students make predictions, conducted the experiment and then recorded their answer.
Students then learnt about the different features of a boat and their functions before using recycled materials to create their own boat. They then tested them to see if they would float – and they all did!
