This term Team Kiwi and Team Takahe are learning how to be scientists! We are learning all about forces and motion, and actions and reactions. In order to do this we are coming up with ideas, and learning how to test these ideas in a FAIR way to see if we are right.
The first scientific investigation that Room 17 worked through was how we could create a "roller coaster" (marble track) where the marble would have enough energy to travel by itself up over a 10cm hill. We had lots of fun coming up with ideas about what our track would need to include and then we had even more fun building and testing our tracks.
We are looking forward to our other investigations AND we will report back soon to let you know what we have learned about what sort of things we need to do to be good scientists.
