This term our topic is about aerodynamics, more importantly, drag. Mr. Peacock has thought up a fun way to teach us about drag by giving us each a simple car made of a block of wood, four wheels and a few nails. Throughout the term we will modify the cars to make them more drag resistant.
At the end of the term we will be having a drag race using a track we have borrowed from the local scout group to test out what we have learnt.
We are currently listening to a book about a girl named Zephyr learning about drag and how it affects her in a bike race.
