Year 4 - British Science Week14 March 2024 (by ragar) |
With the theme of this year's British Science Week being 'Time', Year 4 have made pendulum timers and explored how different factors can affect the length of time pendulums swing for. The first factor we investigated was the length of the string. We concluded that the longer the string, the longer it took to stop swinging. Then we added card to the pendulum to see the effect of air resistance. We observed that the pendulum stopped quicker when the air resistance was greater.
