Science: forces

Friday 26 September 2025

This half term in Science we have been learning all about forces. This week, we investigated air resistance using bin bags. First, we ran across the Green as fast as we could and recorded our time. Then, we did the same run but this time we held a bin bag above our heads. We found that we ran slower whilst holding the bin bag. We deduced that this must be because when we were holding the binbag it increased the air resistance and therefore slowed us down.

Help at home by discussing the vocabulary (below) that we are using in Science for our forces topic.
