Following on from our previous science lesson, today the children worked in small groups to investigate whether a ball's mass affects gravity's force. They used weighing scales to measure the mass of 5 different balls, then from the same height observed how long they took to touch the ground. Only one variable was changed to conduct a fair test. The children changed the ball.
We then explored the term Air- Resistance in detail and carried out an experiment using two sheets of paper. We screwed one up into a ball and left one as a sheet, we then dropped the ball of paper and sheet at the same time and observed what happens.
The sheet of paper fell slowly as there is more air under the paper.
