There were lots of good discussions about friction when ice skating, in formula 1 and other examples.


One child talked about how when he is at Motorcross he needs grip on his tyres to make friction so he doesn’t skid and slip in the snow or rainy weather.

We concluded that having a rougher, bumpier tyre was important to avoid it slipping. We also talked about how tyres wear down and become slippier so they need changing.

As we were testing, we decided that the height of the ramp wasn't enough so we changed it. We then had to go back and test all the surfaces again from our new height to make it a fair test.

Liquid that came through (ml)

Glue stick - 3ml

Wax- 3ml

Cooking oil- 1ml

PVA Glue- A drop


We used a syringe to insert water onto the fabric. To make it a fair test, we kept the amount to 5ml. The Olive School noticed that the PVA glue let the fewest amount of liquid in!

After the live session, they excitedly chose their resources and began to build ramps and find materials to cover their bottles. From smelly old soft socks to rough sheets of sandpaper. The atmosphere was electric! They tested and changed variables with great enthusiasm. Here are some photos of all the organised chaos… fabulous. Thank you.
