Today, year 3 enjoyed investigating the effects of frictions on different surfaces.  We tested how far a toy car would travel on the following surfaces: carpet, whiteboard and wood. We predicted that the car would travel the furthest on the whiteboard because it is a smooth surface and it would travel the least furthest on the carpet because it is a rough surface. Our predications were correct! We found that the car travelled the furthest (154cm) on the whiteboard because there was lesson friction. The toy car did not move at all for the carpet because there was a lot of friction! We are so excited for our next Science investigation.
