P6/7 are learning about friction in science this week.  We made our own ice rinks and used different objects as ice hockey pucks…

We learnt that pucks need to be smooth, flat and hard to slide well across the ice. We found the Duplo Lego brick slid the best.

We also pushed and pulled straws in and out of wet sand and water.  It was a lot easier to move the straw in the water as there was less friction
