Year 5's new Science topic is FORCES and we have been testing a nember of theories.  For example: "Does the force of a push make a toy car go further?"  Yes, we predicted, and our results confirmed this.  "Would a small, light ball fall slower than a large, heavy ball?" Using different size balls and timers we put this to the test and compared our predictions with the results. You'd be surprised!  We also found out that Force is measured in newtons and spent some time measuring newtons of different items around the classroom using different scales of Newton meters.  By the end of the activity we knew which type of newton meter to use.  We love Science!
