Science Day in Year 2


In Science Day this week, we tested different materials to see which would be best to make a parachute. We tested three materials using a hairdryer underneath to see which one had the best air resistance when we turned it on. We made our parachutes by attaching four pieces of string and a maths cube to a piece of material. We made sure our experiment was a fair test and only changed one thing (the type of material we chose). We tested our parachutes by launching them off of the ramp on the KS1 playground. We found out that material that was light and thin created the best air resistance and would be the best material to use for a parachute. We also had a very exciting assembly during Science Day. Science man Dan came in and we learnt lots about different types of energy. Some of us even got to go to the front and do the experiments. We had lots of fun on Science Day!
