The wreck of the Titanic is rusting around 4 km underneath the surface of the sea. It is made of iron which rusts when it reacts with oxygen and water. In this The Titanic Rusting KS2 Science Investigation, children are going to find out how to test how iron nails rust in different liquids

Covers the following science National Curriculum objectives:-

  • Set up a simple fair test. Recognise and control variables.
  • Gather and record data/results to answer questions.
