KS4W have been working on ‘Peggy Problems’ this week in Science. The students had to choose whether they thought a plastic peg or a wooden peg was stronger to hold their socks up on the washing line. Each student had to fill their socks with rice to see how strong their pegs were. As a class, we found that the plastic pegs were stronger, and the socks held with wooden pegs fell to the floor when filled with rice! The students had a really good lesson and all enjoyed getting involved.
