Super Scientists investigate Water Resistance!
Year 5 used their scientific skills last week to investigate whether the shape of an object affects its movement in a liquid. They discussed how to make it a fair test then created different bow shapes out of modelling clay. Using iPads to time the bows, they found the best shape was either pointed or sharp. To extend their experiment they went on to use a fluid with more viscosity (bubble bath) which demonstrated how this created more resistance and slowed down the object. Great work Year 5! Mrs Blomeley
