Today we did our first science investigation.
Firstly, we watched a video about forces and the effect they have on everyday life.
Our KEY QUESTION was: How does the amount of paperclips on a spinner affect the time it takes the spinner to fall to the ground?


Our W.A.L.T. was: To communicate clearly by drawing a successful table.
















We discussed the features of a fair test.















We did each test twice and timed the fall using stopwatches.







We then averaged our results to make them more reliable.













Here is an example of a level 5 table. Well done Charlotte!
