Week 7 Garden to Table

Thanks again to the teachers and parents who made Garden to Table a really enjoyable time  :)

Diver in a bottle

You will need: modelling clay, paperclip, bottle, pen lid and some water.

Steps :

1.  Make a shape of a modelling clay figure 3.5cm (1.25in) long.  Fix the paper-clip to its head and hang it from the pen top.  Fill the bottle with water and drop in the scuba diver. 2.  The pen top should float with its top just above the water level.  Make the figure bigger or smaller if needed.  Then pour in more water and screw the top on tightly.     What happens to the diver??   What happens when you squeeze the bottle?
