Year 3 - Balloon-powered cars

This week, year 3 have been looking at forces in their science lessons. They have enjoyed learning about balanced and unbalanced forces and the impact that these have on the movement of an object.

The children applied their understanding to build a balloon-powered car. They discussed the impact that various forces were having on the car.

Ask your child:

- What effect does air resistance have on an object?

- What does thrust do?
