In Primary 3 we have been learning about energy and forces. We have been making marshmallow shooters to perform potential and kinetic energy. We used a paper cup, a balloon, tape and marshmallows. To make it you have to cut the bottom of the paper cup and then you tie a knot on the balloon. Cut a little bit at the top of the balloon then get your paper cup and put the balloon on the bottom of the cup. Then put the marshmallow in the cup pull back the balloon and it will shoot the marshmallow. It was fun!

We were also making ramps for toy cars to learn about friction. We used construction materials to build our own ramps. Then we measured how far the car would go over different surfaces. It was awesome!
