Year 5: Science

November 10, 2021

This week, Year 5 have been investigating air resistance. Each group thought of their own questions to test, worked out the range of variables (independent, dependent and control variables) and had to design and make their investigations. We had balloon rockets flying through the air, exercise parachutes attached to children and toy parachutes being dropped from a height. 

We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and the children loved taking responsibility and ownership of their own learning. Next stop...water resistance.
