As part of our investigative science work this term, we have been testing 'Flyers!' The children worked in groups to make a prototype and then came up with questions to investigate:
Does the material affect how far it travels? Does the weight affect how far it travels? Does the height of the launch affect the distance travelled? Does the shape affect how far it travels? Does the length of the Flyer affect how far it travels? We made predictions, considered fair testing, the method, how to record the results and then drew conclusions. We had great fun testing! Some travelled much further than others!
Take a look at the Flyers in flight!

Our class had great fun doing this investigation. Especially when we had to make the flyers!
