Boat Races
The children in Year 5&6 were learning about water resistance in this Science lesson on Forces. They had a competition to see which group could design the boat that would travel fastest through the water. This meant they had to consider streamlined shapes. They looked at the streamlined shape of animals (such as sharks) and used what they learned in their boat designs. One group even included fins and a tail in their design and they were the winning team! Some other groups weren't so successful...
