This half term, our focus in Science is working scientifically. During our last session, the children were using their observations and ideas to suggest an answer to a question.
Which car will roll the furthest?
First, the children were given a range of cars of different shapes, sizes and weights. Their first job was to roll them and start to think about which type of car rolled the furthest.
We asked ourselves these questions:
Was it the heaviest? Was it the lightest? Was it the one with the biggest wheels? Was it the one made from metal?
After, the children were shown three cars.
The children had to decide (based on their observations) which car would travel the furthest down a ramp.
Once they had made their predictions, we carried out the test.
