3rd Class as Scientists

On Thursday, 3rd class became scientists for the afternoon. They were measuring which tennis ball bounces higher-a cold one or a hot one. The children predicted, observed, measured and recorded their results. They had to make sure it was a fair test by dropping the ball at the same height. They learned that the hot tennis ball bounces higher because the warm air inside creates pressure which helps it to bounce back. Many thanks to Ms Mc Fadden for her hard work.
