Today in Science we made paperclip spinners. Our ENQUIRY was to discover how the amount of paperclips attached to a paper spinner would affect its falling speed.
We talked about PATTERN SEEKING and FAIR TESTING.
We made our spinners and then tested them.
We increased the number of paperclips by two each time, and timed each drop three times to provide more accuracy in our measurements. We used NUMBER SKILLS to MEASURE our results using stopwatches.
We then used NUMBER SKILLS to average our results.
Our objective was to COMMUNICATE our results in an accurate table, using standard measures and S.I. units - in this case seconds (the time it took each spinner to fall).





This was a perfect example of the sort of table we were looking for. The S.I. units in the top column, and neat, well presented, accurate results. Well done Mahrooshay.
