Our Friction Experiment

We had jellytastic fun in Year 3 this week.  The children had to time themselves transferring jelly coated in oil between two bowls using plastic sticks.  They had to wrap different materials around the end of the sticks to create friction to reduce the time it took.  Our record was 7 seconds using sticks wrapped in bumpy tin foil.science March 103

  1. Hi Y3,
    Wow! I can imagine the mess you made in the classroom doing this one – how lucky you are to do such fun experiments!

    1. Luckily, the children are (mostly) great at tidying up! Worryingly, they all wanted to eat the jelly at the end, maybe cooking oil might replace ice cream in the future! Thank you for keeping track of our blog, Mrs Fairhurst
