Science in 3T
As part of their topic, Mighty Metals, this week 3T had to set up an investigation to find out whether the clothes they wear on a slide makes a difference to the speed they travel down it. Different materials were wrapped, in turn, around a wooden brick and timed sliding down a piece of guttering. T he children had to predict which fabric would travel the fastest and slowest. T The wooden block wrapped in silk slid down the fastest while the patterned fabric took the longest. So for a smooth, fast slide wear silk!
