Superheros! We were given the opportunity to be Superheros! Our mission was to fly to save the people on the other side of the white line and get them back! We had to be fast! So we set out on our rescue mission wearing a mask and a cape. But then the capes were made of different materials! We had to test which was the most suitable material for a cape. It had to be light, not make any noise and help us fly fast. After testing capes made of wood, plastic, fabric and metal we came to the conclusion that fabric was best suited for a cape! Waterproof or absorbent? Ms Smita sprayed lots of water on us. But we did not get wet! We were wearing our rain coats/ carrying an umbrella. We found that umbrella/rain coat is made of a material that does not let water go through it and it is waterproof. But Ms Smita did not stop at that! When we put away our umbrellas/raincoats she sprayed water on us again. We were 'soaked'! We thus found out that clothes (fabric) absorb or soaks water. Exploring another material: CLAY It is a natural material. It is soft, smooth, mushy, cold and can be moulded into different shapes. It becomes hard when it is dry. It can break when it is dry. When heated and cooled it becomes waterproof. We can use it to make pottery- glass, tea pot, mugs, bowls and also make sculpture. 3D Shapes all round us!
We used recyclable materials to make 3D images!
