Investigating the flexibility of plastic

Lesson: Science

Year two joined together to investigate the flexibility of different types of plastic. They were begged for help from Mr Pete Lastique from the Wilmslow Plastic Company as the company is moving towards creating water bottles for schools. Our children went out and investigated which plastic bottles would be the most flexible to use as a water container. To do they squirted water as far as possible from bottles and then using a metre stick measured the distance the water travelled.
