Y5 had fun learning about forces with Mr Watkins, a specialist science teacher, last week. We investigated air resistance and conducted an experiment to answer the question: Is air resistance a force?
We conducted our experiment outside using force metres and bin bags, to act as parachutes! Before we began, we had to construct a table of results to record our values.
We developed our understanding of cause and effect. Cause refers to the variable we control. We controlled the number of bin bags used. Effect refers to the variable we measure. We measured the force when we ran with our parachutes, using a force meter.
Our lesson was extremely fun and interesting! Thank you Mr Watkins!
