Science Throughout the second half of the Spring term, Team DB have been learning all about Forces. They have been discovering how Forces are the things that allow the movement of all objects around us. The children have been learning all about gravity and how this is a force which keeps us grounded, and friction, which can either slow or encourage movement when two objects collide with each other through resistance (or lack of). As part of our science learning, the children investigated the force of resistance by designing their own parachutes with various sized canopies. The children had to consider whether the size of the canopy effected the speed at which the parachute would fall to Earth, as well as contemplating the different variables. The whole class worked very hard at developing their understanding and encouraging each others' learning. They had so much fun watching their parachutes sail down to the ground!
