May The Force Be With You

In Science, we were looking at the force that was needed to make cars move on different surfaces.  We came to the conclusion that the slippier the surface, the less force was needed.  Less force was also needed, the higher the ramp.

Rescuing the Frozen Beads

We were learning all about the properties of ice in Science.  We had to discover the best way to rescue the frozen beads.  Aluminium foil kept them cold; material heated them up and made the ice melt.  If we shook the ice, it created energy , which heated the ice and made it melt.  Great fun!
