Year 5 are learning about the importance of air resistance and aerodynamics in their Forces topic in Science!  We observed a crumpled ball of paper being thrown and compared it with our streamlined paper aeroplanes.  They flew much further and fell to the ground slower. Year 5's next experiment is to design a parachute for an egg astronaut!  The challenge is for it to fall to the ground slowly, and land intact!  Their parachutes are now in the design stage.   Mrs Blomeley
