Experiment time!

25th May 2017

Primary One and Two were being very helpful today in helping Little Red Riding Hood to find a new cloak.  Her Mummy said she needed a nice warm one so the children tested different materials to find the warmest.  They tested plastic, paper, cotton and wool by covering jars in each material then putting boiling water inside to see which stayed warmest the longest.  After thirty minutes they tested the water temperature with a thermometer and discovered that the wool kept the water the warmest and the water jar covered in paper was the coldest.  They decided that Little Red Riding Hood should definitely buy a new WOOL cloak to keep her warm.
