Investigating Water Resistance
Year 5 have investigated water resistance in Science. We used playdoh to see which shapes have the most/least water resistance and compared spheres, cones and cubes.
We also discussed how water resistance helps or hinders us when swimming. Lots of children enjoyed talking about push and glide in the water and how this creates a more streamlined shape to help us travel further with minimal effort. We linked this to boats and will be making our own next week!
