This consisted of what material they thought would carry the weight down the ramp the fastest and which one they thought would be the slowest. ]]> 2019-03-26 13:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345257199 Prediction: millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345267293 Class 5 predicted that:
Aluminium foil would carry the weight down the fastest.
Cord Fabric would carry the weigh down the slowest.
They each then wrote down their ideas of why this would happen, introducing hypothesising; however, some children were unable to explain why they thought this.]]> 2019-03-26 14:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345267293 Conclusion: millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345505759 Once every group had finished the experiment, we then came together as a class and shared our results. Every group got slightly different timings but they all got the same 'Fastest' and 'Slowest' materials. 

The Fastest material was:
Aluminium Foil

The Slowest Material was:
Cork]]> 2019-03-27 00:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345505759 Evaluation: millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345505831 Once the experiment was over and the lesson was coming to an end; we looked back to our experiment and the Class came up with an evaluation; WWW (what went well) and EBI (even better if).]]> 2019-03-27 00:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345505831 QR Code millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345737024 Rapunzel explaining Friction]]> 2019-03-27 14:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345737024 QR Code millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345738561 Examples of Friction in every-day life ]]> 2019-03-27 14:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/345738561 millie_sidwell https://padlet.com/millie_sidwell/1999/wish/346406426 Class 5 conducted an experiment to find out: Whether the Material effect the Speed of the weight travelling down the ramp?

Within this experiment they used various different process skills in order to effectively find the answer to what they were looking for.
