Our first experiment was to investigate air resistance. We created o ring planes and we had to see how far they could fly. Well done to Jake as he created the plane which flew the furthest. After our test flight the children were given the opportunity to modify their plane to see if they could get it to fly further!
Our second experiment this week was to investigate electrostatic forces. To do this we use balloons. We rubbed them on our sweatshirts to charge them up and we tried to see if the negative charge would attract our hair. We had some hair raising experiences!
The next steps in our learning is to develop our literacy skills as we learn to write the procedures for our experiments.
Well done P5.
Mrs Campbell and P5
