Is your boat stable? Why/why not? 

What happens if you blow harder/softer with your straw? Does it effect how your boat floats on the water?

CHALLENGE: WHAT WOULD MAKE YOUR BOAT WATERPROOF?

Wednesday 

Maths/ Geography- Make your own treasure map. 

How to design a Treasure Map

To design a pirate-themed treasure map, draw specific features that represent pirates, this could include a parrot, skull and crossbones and an eyepatch. 

These features will represent different points within the treasure map, for example, a starting and finishing point. 

To create the pathway, simple draw dashes around the map to guide your explorer. 

X marks the spot where the treasure is buried so don't forget to add this onto the treasure map!
