He has an outfit for every mission, and it always ready for anything! Until... he needed our help to create a brand new outfit for him! He wanted to go on an underwater mission in the bath. Together we had a think about what we would need for the perfect underwater outfit. We quickly realised that we were going to have to find a material that was WATERPROOF! But how did we know which materials were waterproof? We passed around many different materials and discussed their properties, but we still weren't sure. So Year 1 got to work designing our own experiment to test the waterproof properties of each one. Watch this space for the results! Hopefully we can find the perfect material to make a new outfit for Traction Man. ### Year 1 - An Outfit for Traction Man! Exploring materials.
