    Published 23/03/23, by Rachael Jurkiw

    As part of our topic on Jasper Johnson's Time Machine, we have had a go at making out very own! We had to think really carefully about how we make a 2D sheet into a 3D object, how we can attach objects and how we can incorporate moving parts like dials to make sure we travel to the right time! We tried lots of different ideas to see which would work best and then applied them to our final creation!Take a look at the wonderful work we created!

What would happen if Teddy found himself out in a shower? What material could we use to make him a coat, that would keep him dry? We made our predictions and then got to work, testing and investigating and then recorded our results. We also had a go exploring different liquids and seeing which would mix and which wouldn't!
