We set up a ramp in class and timed how fast the toy car moved, on different surfaces. We discovered that the car moved fastest on the wood and Cling film and slowest on the sandpaper and bubble wrap. We will now be using our data to create a bar graph with final results! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/120A8EA1-BA65-43C9-B5B3-D71BA1CE4C3A.jpeg) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/8D8A188F-2CEB-4298-A832-E17D9B989B0B.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-21-reception-dental-hygiene) Previous ### [Reception: Dental Hygiene ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-21-reception-dental-hygiene) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/5F9F4FAE-D840-46EE-9A42-74FFEC6E9235.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-23-year-4-science-week-investigation) Next ### [Year 4 - Science Week Investigation](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-03-23-year-4-science-week-investigation) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
