We recently have been learning all about forces and carrying out investigations, exploring the topic. We found out that forces can change the way an object moves, make it go faster, go slower, or stop it.It can also change the shape of an object or the direction the object is moving in.
We carried out three experiments, exploring:
- Push & pull forces, using skipping ropes
- Air resistance and how it can influence how slowly or quickly an object can travel through the air. We explored the elements which may affect air resistance including the shape of an object, angles they are travelling and the distance an object is travelling, using balloons.
- Bouncing Balls Gravity Investigation: We explored when a ball bounces, it has momentum and energy. We then investigated what would happen when 2 balls are bounce together (the energy from the basketball transfers to the tennis ball)
