Windermere - Air resistance

Lesson: Science

Class: Miss L Pool - Windermere Year: 2024 - 2025

For our second science lesson, we learned all about air resistance. Firstly, we tested how air resistance affected how easy it was for us to run by holding a piece of paper above our heads - it slowed us right down! After that, we tested our air resistance further by scrunching up piece a paper and leaving one as it is and seeing which one hit the ground the quickest. We found out the scrunched up one travelled quicker due to it having a smaller surface area.
