Windermere - Water resistance

Lesson: Science

Class: Miss L Pool - Windermere Year: 2022 - 2023

This week in science we have been learning about water resistance. We were exploring the forces that act on objects when they're in water and how the shape of said objects affects water resistance. To do this, we dropped the objects into water and timed how long it took for it to reach the bottom. Some interesting discoveries were made and we found the shapes that were streamlined to be the most effective at reducing water resistance. ??????
