As part of our science topic of forces, we have been learning about air resistance and water resistance. Both are examples of friction, which is a force that slows things down.<\/p>\n

To test out air resistance we created parachutes to allow eggs to be dropped from the stage. We found that larger parachutes created more air resistance, therefore the eggs dropped slower.<\/p>\n

Then we dropped different shapes into water to test water resistance. We found that shapes with a larger surface area took longer to drop because there was more water resistance. Pointy shapes are more streamlined so have less water resistance.<\/p>\n
