We have started to investigate Friction as part of our science work.  To kick start this area of learning we carried out a simple investigation using a range of different balls outside.

We compared how each ball travelled on three different surfaces.  The pitch, the playground and the grass.  We used a tennis ball, hockey ball, a spiky ball, a basketball ball and soft football to compare how the size and weight of the ball changed how well the ball travelled.

In groups we noted down our findings and then we compared them with the other groups as a plenary.
