Friction and gravity

Date: 24th Jan 2019 @ 8:16pm

Over the last two weeks, the class has been working on gravity and friction, two of the parts of their study of Forces in Science.

This term is all about learning through practical nvestigation and recording findings, so they have been working in different groups to plan and carry out their investigations.  Using Newton meters, they began by predicting, then measuring the weights of objects in grams, and then newtons, to measure the force of gravity.  In friction, they tested a variety of different surfaces to compare the amount of friction generated.
