Hands On Science

Today we had a SUPER EXCITING incursion. A lady from Hands On Science came, and we did lots of experiments testing the property of different materials.

My favourite experiment is written below:

Aim: to see which material is the most flammable.

Materials:

  • Wool
  • Nomex
  • Plastic
  •  Dri-Fit
  • Nylon
  • Cotton 
  • Matches

Method:

1. Cut even sizes of each material 

2. Light material using a match on at a time

3. Observe what happens 

4. Repeat this for each material

What do you hypothesise will happen?
