Is it a Bird...Is it a plane...?

No! It's Year 4 investigating friction and air resistance.

The Y4 Science topic this half term is friction and, having already investigated surface friction and water resistance, on Wednesday they moved on to air resistance.

Having decided on the best material and the best sizes to use they then set about creating a parachute which would use air resistance to protect their precious cargo...(Water balloons!)

Many groups managed to protect their balloon on the first drop, but only one survived the big drop!
