Forces in Y5

Date: 30th Sep 2021 @ 4:45pm

Year 5 have been working on their science unit on forces this week. Earlier in the week we explored friction and later we went onto looking at water resistance.

We compared the time a ball of plasticine took to fall through the air and through water. We found out the ball falling through the water took longer than the one in the air.

Year 5 then carried out an experiment to test how the shape of the ball would affect the time it took to fall through water. We found that more streamline shapes helped the ball to fall quicker.
