Key stage 2 pupils had an introduction to forces today by conducting some simple tests using spinners. The spinner were dropped from a height and timed. Pupils analysed the results and drew conclusions highlighting that the larger the spinner the more air resistance it had and therefore the longer the spinner remained air born.
