5th Class Science

In science this week, 5th Class were learning about forces and air resistance. They worked on creating and testing parachutes to see if the size of the parachute had an affect on the air resistance. They calculated the area of the parachutes, the average drop speeds and they learned about scientific report writing and experimental variables
