Waterproof Materials

We got a letter from Honey Potts  - the owner of Trendy Bears Clothes Shop. She had a problem.... the teddy bears she makes clothes for were complaining because they were getting wet and soggy when they went into the woods for their Teddy Bears picnic. 

Honey asked us to help her find out what the best material to make waterproof clothes for the bears is so we did an experiment.

We used:
A wooly hat
A paper hat
A plastic hat
A watering can
Water

How we did it:
1. We poured water on the wooly hat, paper hat and plastic hat.
2.Next we checked to see which hat didn't let the water through.
3. We recorded the results on our record sheet.

Results:
The wooly hat and the paper hat both let some water through. The plasic hat did not let any water through.
Plastic is the best material to make waterproof clothes for the teddy bears!



Tomorrow we will write a letter to Honey Potts to tell her our results.
