Year 5 students from Meadowside primary took part in a secondary school science workshop focused on air resistance πŸŒ¬οΈπŸ”¬, where they explored how different shapes and sizes affect the way objects fall πŸ“β¬‡οΈ. During the session, the students designed and made their own paper helicopters πŸšβœ‚οΈ, then tested them by dropping them from a height to observe how air resistance slowed their descent. They collected data by timing each drop ⏱️ and repeated their tests to improve accuracy πŸ”. After recording their results, the students calculated a mean time for their helicopter flights βž—πŸ“Š, helping them understand patterns in their data and draw simple scientific conclusions 🧠✨.
