Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - British Science Week ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2501.jpeg) 13 March 2024 For this years science week year 5 have been focusing on time. Our class looked at the force of friction and its uses within the wider world. The children tested four balls on rough surface and recorded the time it took them to reach a given target. The children drew on many conclusions on the speeds of each ball and how much friction was being exerted. This then determined how quickly and smoothly each ball reached their target. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2501.jpeg) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2493.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-12-running-club) Previous ### [Running Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-12-running-club) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/60BA9FC0-2A7F-4663-A5E4-8A006412C54E.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-13-year-6-british-science-week) Next ### [Year 6 British Science Week](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-13-year-6-british-science-week) ### 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/)
