Air resistance and pulley systems

28 Jun 2021


 Year 5 and 6 have been investigating air resistance and pulley mechanisms outdoors. The children made parachutes and observed air resistance in action. They then investigated how their parachutes worked by changing either the material, size or shape of the
parachute. They also used the big parachute to observe the air resistance, and played some games too. The children were given ropes and pulleys to make a pulley system with 1 pulley and then more. They noticed the load was easier when they used more pulleys but they had to pull more rope through. Great investigating Class 4.
