Class 2 Air Resistance Experiment

Lesson: Science

Class: Class 2 Year: 2021 - 2022

To finish off our forces topic we performed a series of experiments this week. We used research and observation to test how air resistance changes speed. We timed ourselves running across the yard and then we did it again each holding a large piece of card to increase our air resistance. We ran slower holding the card and it felt harder to move. We have built on our existing knowledge of the force 'drag' which we learnt about in a previous topic, 'From A to B.'
