Light It Up!

DSCF0163.jpg1/ 2 T thoroughly enjoyed creating a circuit and making a bulb light up. We looked at a range of circuits and predicted whether the bulb would light up or not and suggested why. When we tested our circuits and were surprised at some of the results!

Parachute fun in Y6


Year 6 have been carrying out a parachute investigation. Pupils chose which variable they wanted to change eg area of parachute, mass on the parachute, number of ropes, shape of parachute etc and planned their investigation to see if this variable made any difference to the fall speed. We even took 3 readings for each fall of the chute- averaged them and drew a table and a bar chart or line graph.
