The students in Room 11 have enjoyed growing broad beans over the last couple of weeks. They have been taking care of them, measuring their growth and recording any changes.
We also carried out a quick investigation to see what would happen to a ping pong ball when held over the top of a hairdryer.
It was amazing to see the ball float in the air and not fly onto the floor like some of us predicted.
It stayed in the air because the ball was being forced back down by gravity, even though the force of the air from the hairdryer was pushing it upwards. There was an equal force. The ball even moved around as we moved the hairdryer. It finally fell to the ground when the hairdryer was switched off.
