Haddington Infant School

Primary 2/6 have been learning about things that float and sink.  We made boats out of playdough to see if they would float or sink.  Then we tested them.  We wrote a report about our investigations. 

Here are some of our reports.

 We made our boat from playdough.  It was a yellow boat.  The flag was made from paper and a straw.  We drew patterns on the flag.  We curved the side with a ruler.  It was a square and it was straight.  We put lego men in the boat.  We put our boat in the water.  It floated for a long time but then it sank down in the water.

We made a boat out of playdough.  We flattened it in to a cup shape.  Then we tested it in the water.  We fitted 10 lego men in the boat.  It sank.

We tested our boat.  It sank in 1 second and we made it out of playdough.  We had lots of fun and we made the flag.  Our flag had a man called Luke on it.  We tested the boat and it sank.

Most of our boats floated but when the water came over the side and inside the boat, they sank in the water.
