Science Week - November 2022

As part of Science Week 2022, 5th Class carried out an investigation on paper spinners. The children investigated whether the size of the paper spinner and the way the wings were folded effected the speed at which the paper spinner fell to the ground.

The boys and girls discovered the following:

1) The larger the paper spinner, the slower it fell to the ground because of its larger surface area therefore more air resistance

2) Changing the way the wings on the paper spinner were folded caused the direction of rotating of the paper spinner to change from clockwise to anti clockwise.

Have a look below at the boys and girls carrying out their investigations.
