Year 3 British Science Week 202412 March 2024 (by ragar) |
To celebrate British Science Week 2024, Year 3 completed an investigation linked to this year's theme of 'time'. We created our own pendulums! We investigated how changing the length of the string affected how long the pendulum swung. We found out that the longer the string, the more it swung and the longer it took to come to a stop. We decided this was due to a range of factors including air resistance and momentum. Some of us then investigated if adding different sizes of card to our pendulum affected its movement. We found out the bigger the piece of card, the less the pendulum moved and the quicker it came to a stop.
