Year 5 Technology Tom - November 2021

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 5 Year: 2021 - 2022

Technology Tom came into school to demonstrate the effect of different forces on objects. First, we reviewed our knowledge of materials and forces and discussed how different materials are more suitable for different objects because of their mass, strength and flexibility. Tom demonstrated how gravity, friction and air resistant can effect the way objects move.

We then make our own paper rockets in a variety of sizes and designs to test out what factors would help our rockets move smoothly through the air to hit a target.
