Science Week
Science Week
As part of science week we learnt about being curious and asking questions to find out about the world around us.
We asked the question:
Which is the best design for a paper plane?
We made 3 different types of plane and tested them. We discovered the different designs were better for different things- travelling further, staying in the air longer.
We also carried out some ‘Awe and Wonder’ experiments looking closely at what we saw happening and thinking about why it happened.
