Oh no! Little Red Riding Hood was caught in a terrible autumn storm and her cloak was completely ruined! She got so wet that she ended up poorly in bed! We knew we had to help her, so we became scientists on a mission to find the best waterproof material for a brand-new cloak!
First, we created our very own Little Red Riding Hoods, ready to put our materials to the test. We worked with our partners to make predictions about which material would keep Little Red dry: foil, tissue paper or kitchen roll. Then it was time for the exciting part – our experiment! We carefully used pipettes to drip water onto each material, observing what happened and checking whether Little Red was wet or dry. We were even able to use the scientific word ‘waterproof’ to describe our discoveries!
We had so much fun investigating, sharing our ideas, taking turns and working together like real scientists! We discovered that foil was the best material to keep Little Red dry. We think she will be much better prepared for her next autumn adventure!
