Science - Week 2
by Isabel, Year 5: My first hypothesis: The length of the wings will affect how close the spinner goes to the target. First Attempt - The short winged spinner hit the target. The wings of this spinner were 7.8 cm. Second Attempt - This spinner had longer wings and it rotated better but it was about 14 cm off the target. The wings of this spinner were 12 cm. My second hypothesis: The weigh at the bottom of the spinner will affect how close the spinner goes to the target. First Attempt - This spinner has blue tac at the bottom. It is the short winged spinner. It landed 4.5 cm away from the target. Second Attempt - This spinner also has blue tac at the bottom. It is the long winged spinner. It landed 17.5cm away from the target. My Method: I stood on a chair with my arm outstretched above the target. The Conclusion: In my experiment the short winged spinner with a paper clip on the bottom worked the best. |
My report
By Aamna Zafar Y5 My hypothesis: I thought that it would almost hit every time no matter what you did to it. My method: I stood above the target and dropped the spinner straight down. Then I changed one thing and recorded my results on a piece of paper. My results: Spinner with blue tack - From standing: MISS Spinner with blue tack - From standing ON SOFA: ALMOST HIT Spinner with blue tack - From standing WITH SHORTER LEGS: ALMOST HIT Spinner with MORE BLUE TACK - From standing: HIT Spinner with PAPERCLIP - From standing: REALLY MISSED Spinner with blue tack - From standing - SHORTER ROTAS: ALMOST HIT I recorded what I did differently in capital letters. Conclusion I found that when the spinner had a lot of blue tack, it fell onto the target. This shows that the best spinner is the one with the most weight. |

Science Homework
By Habiba, Year 3 First I measured my dad and he was 67 cm, I measured him with measuring tape. Next I measured myself and I was 51 cm. I also measured myself, my mom and my sister with measuring tape. After that I measured my sister and she was 49 cm. Then I measured my mom and she was 68 cm.

My report
By Aamna Zafar Y5 My question: Is there a link between the length of your outstretched arms and your height? My hypothesis: Before I did the experiment, I thought that the length of my outstretched arms and my height would be the same. My method: I got the tape measure and asked my mum to measure the length of my outstretched arms and wrote it down. She then measured my height and wrote it down. I did this with lots of members of my household. My result: I found that the length of your outstretched arms is close to the same length. My hypothesis was nearly correct.

If your parents have Facebook, they can search for Science Sparks who have a 'tray a day' activity which looks really good.
Remember that if you do some science, you can take photos and upload them to BGfL.
