21 Oct What’s happening in Year 5 – Week 8
Year 5 had a wonderful workshop from two STEM ambassadors on Friday, who were both hydrologists from the Environment Agency. They were investigating how much water different materials absorbed. The materials they investigated were brick, plants and plastic. They then linked this to our new living wall and tested the hypothesis, ‘Can the living wall help prevent flooding?’. They concluded that the living wall could help prevent flooding, because the plants were more absorbent than the bricks, but the living wall could not stop flooding altogether.
