Bean bag experiment

Today, we recapped our knowledge of forces – particularly gravity and air resistance. We then discussed whether heavier objects would hit the ground before lighter objects, or vice versa. We created our own prediction using the key vocabulary ‘gravity’ and ‘air resistance’, and then carried out the experiment.

We came to the conclusion that both objects hit the ground at the same time due to having the same amount of gravitational pull – discussing the impact of air resistance and how this impacts on falling objects. After this, we wrote up our conclusion.

We had a lovely lesson and were super sensible!
