Planning our fair-tests

As scientists we are planning our investigations /fair tests to test various materials. We are working co-operatively in small groups.
Ollie, Josh and Carter are planning to test which material is best for a parachute.


Micah and Taane are planning to test which materials protect an egg when they are wrapped around the egg and dropped from a height.


Hayden, Ben and Ryan are testing what fabric would make the best parachute for an egg. as scientists they tell me that they will need to make a fair test by having the fabric the same size and everything the same weight.


jack, Dylan and Thomas are testing magnet power under water. As scientists they say they will need to precisely measure distances.
