St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

3rd Class looked at the Energy and Forces strand of the Science curriculum for Discovery Primary Science, focusing on the topic of gravity. We also integrated this into other subjects such as Maths and History.

Our title was: ‘Investigating How Helicopters Fly’.

Our objectives were:
To investigate gravity as a force
To explore how some things fall
To investigate if the size and shape of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins
To investigate if the weight of the paper helicopter affects the way a helicopter spins

Kian drew this picture to show how we made our paper helicopters:

Here are some photographs and a write up of the experiments we did.

3rd class love Science and we really enjoyed taking part in the Discovery Primary Science project again this year!
