The week, Year One wanted to investigate which material would be the strongest material to build a house for The Three Little Pigs. Firstly, everyone made a prediction of which would be the strongest. Some children thought straw, others thought sticks and others thought bricks. Then, the children went outside in the windy weather to conduct their science experiment. The children tested the straw first. It blew everywhere! Then the children tested the sticks and they blew across the ground. Lastly, the children tested the brick and it did not move! The children could explain that the brick was the strongest material. Some children described the brick as being rigid and others described it as being hard. They recorded their results in a table and ranked the materials from strongest to weakest. We had so much fun!
