Class 2a had a great time this afternoon in their science lesson! They were given a dilemma and had to carry out an investigation to find a solution.

I bring a sandwich to school for my lunch but my water bottle leaks and I end up with a soggy sandwich! Can you find out which material will protect my sandwich best from water and from being squashed?

The children had great fun finding out what happens when a sandwich is submerged in water! The children recorded their findings and were using fantastic scientific vocabulary including the words absorbant, transparent and… soggy! They then used heavy objects to find out what materials helped protect the sandwiches from being squashed!

Here is a picture of the children exploring with tissue paper, tin foil and bread!

We found lots of heavy objects to squash the bread!
