Y3 Science: Friction investigation3 May 2024 (by ragar) |
This term in Science, we are learning about forces. In today's lesson, we have been investigating the effect friction has on a car's tyres. To carry out this investigation, we pushed a toy car across 4 different surfaces to see which one created the most friction and which created the least. We found out the grass had the most friction and decided this was because of its texture and unevenness. We also found out that the hall floor had the least friction because it is made of wood, and is a smooth, shiny surface.
Please have a look out our class page on the school website to see what else we have been getting up to:
