P5 learn about forces

Our STEM topic has been learning all about forces. First we learned about friction. Then we investigated another type of friction: air resistance. We also investigated electrostatic forces. We learned how to write up a science experiment as a real scientist would!

First we investigated different surfaces to understand what friction is.

We designed and created our o-ring plane to investigate air resistance.

Our finished o-ring planes. Ready for testing.

We tested the o-ring planes to see the effect of air resistance. Well done Ellie G she made the plane which flew the furthest!

We went outside to investigate the effect of air resistance when we ran with different sizes of paper.

Our first electrostatic challenge: can you get a balloon to stick to the wall?

A hair raising experience! We saw the effect of electrostatic forces.
