Investigating materials to make waterproof clothes!


In Science today, Copernicus gave us a letter that his friend Honey Potts had sent us. Honey manages a bear's clothes shop but lately the bears were complaining because even though their clothes are very nice, when it starts raining, they get wet. 






Honey sent us some materials to test to see which would be the best for their new range of waterproof clothes. We tested nylon, wool, linen, cotton, leather and plastic. 




We made sure it was fair by putting 4 pipettes of water on each material. 





We found out that leather and plastic were the two best materials to keep out water. Nylon was the worst.  





Tomorrow we'll be discussing our results a bit more and writing a letter back to Honey to tell her which materials we would recommend.
