In science this week we have been investigating the effects of water resistance. We discussed how it feels different to walk in water than it does to walk on land and we learnt that water resistance is a type of friction. We had to build three shapes out of play dough to test which one would sink the fastest. We used stopwatches to try to be as accurate as possible and made sure it was a fair test by doing it three times for each shape to get the best results. Which shape do you think would sink the fastest?
