Kensuke Assembly

Hello Kensukes!
Just a quick reminder about our class assembly next week. Our first class assembly will take place on Wednesday 2nd October at about 9 a.m. We will be sharing some of our fantastic poetry. We would be really pleased to welcome any parents in to our assembly and look forward to sharing our work.

Parachute Making

As part of our science topic 'Forces' we carried out an investigation. We made parachutes of different sizes to see which fell to the ground the fastest. We had to control all the other variables (the materials used, the weight added and the height we dropped them from).

We found out the the larger the canopy of the parachute the slower it fell to the ground.

This is because of the force of air resistance. The larger parachutes had more air resistance acting on them which slowed them down. They all fell towards the ground due to the force of gravity.

Well done Kensukes, you worked really hard on this.
