As part of our current WAU theme 'All Wound Up' we have been learning about FORCES. This week we have been thinking about FRICTION. We completed a Science experiment to investigate how far a toy car would travel along different surfaces. We used a variety of materials such as PVC, carpet, rubber and sandpaper. We set up a simple ramp and measured the distance that the toy car travelled on each of the different surfaces. We also discussed how we could make it a FAIR TEST by keeping the height of the ramp and the car used the same. We really enjoyed our Science investigation.
