Science: Exploring Air Resistance (16.10.24)

In science, we have been learning about air resistance. We had so much fun setting up our own PPPOP investigations using paper helicopters. Some of us tried varying the size of the helicopters, others added additional paperclips to increase the weight and some people even cut slits in the rotor blades.

We worked completely independently to set up our investigations, carry out the practical tests and write our reports. Mrs Branagan was very impressed by how sensibly we worked, by the predictions we made and how some of us even linked these to what we learnt about the theories of Galileo.
