What’s happening in 1/2D
In Year 1/2D this week, we have been looking at the concept of the Fair Test as part of our Science curriculum. We made gyrocopters, flew them and discussed the concept of The Fair Test (A test that controls all but one variable when attempting to answer a scientific question.) We changed one variable (added more weight to the bottom) and tested how well it flew compared to the original model. We also made circle gliders and tested them to see how far they could glide. As a class, we changed one variable to see if we could make the gliders glide longer.
In the coming days, in small groups, we are going to choose another variable to change and test our new gliders against the original model.
