This half term year 3 have been learning about forces. They wanted to explore which surfaces are low friction and which surfaces are high friction. To do this they carried out a fun investigation where they let a car go at the top of a ramp and measured how far it went to test their predictions. They discovered that wood was a low friction surface as the car travelled a long way after it came off the ramp and the carpet was high friction as it slowed the car down.
