After the experiment we found that the cooking oil was the most waterproof. ### Science Experiment [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0988%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0988%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0983%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0983%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0991%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/science-experiment/IMG_0991%5B1%5D.JPG) [ Following in the footsteps of Galileo Galilei](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/2022-03-09-13-02-49-following-in-the-footsteps-of-galileo-galilei) [Mystery Scientist - 1 Birch ](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/2022-03-10-14-53-42-mystery-scientist-1-birch) ### Comments ### Leave a Comment ![Dowson Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/logo/Dowson-Logo.png) ### Dowson Primary Academy Marlborough Road Hyde Cheshire SK14 5HU 0161 366 0177 © Copyright 2026 Dowson Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://dowsonprimary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
