Investigating Forces

As part of our science work on forces we investigated how far toy cars would travel using an elastic band. We worked in groups of 4 and discussed with each other the best method of carrying out this investigation. We measured how far we pulled back the elastic band and also measured the distanced travelled by the car. We recorded the results of all the cars. Here are some of our pictures and this is what we said:
Aimee "It was fun learning about how forces work."
Megan "The more you pull the elastic back the further the car will travel."
Iwan " I enjoyed pulling the different cars back with the elastic and watching them zoom across the floor".



Harry "I enjoyed working with my group and would like to do it again."



Cara " It was fun and I enjoyed it."





Leon " I thought the yellow sports car would go the furthest, it measured over 4m"
When we got back to class we recorded our results in our books.
