Ted's Problem

Date: 6th Dec 2021 @ 7:53pm

Today we completed an experiment to test which materials were waterproof and which were not. We read all about Ted’s problem and thought about what we could do to help him, as he didn’t know which material would make the best umbrella. We talked about what equipment we needed, how we were going to make our experiment a fair test, and the method we needed to follow for our experiment. We learnt that a fair test means we need to do exactly the same thing every time we do the test, for example how far away from the material we drop the water, how much water we use and how long the water touches the material before we observed the result.
