P5M are currently looking at different types of forces. Today we explored the concept of gravity and its importance to our everyday life. Every pupil was given a balloon and a straw to see how long they could beat gravity. Everyone enjoyed themselves, however inflating 24 balloons in a 3 minute period is not recommended!!
Our next lesson will look at air resistance and gravity which I’m sure will be an eggcellent experience. 🥚🥚
