Making a test FAIR!

We had a Science morning in Year 2 today. Dastardly And Mutley wanted help to sabotage the Wacky Races. We needed to find the best way to slow down a car- on which surface would cars go the slowest?
We thought about all of the things we needed to keep fair- this took a lot of thinking!

Then we had a think about what made the best surface and made our predictions.
Then we tested scrunchy foil, smooth foil, fabric and sandpaper.  Which one did Dastardly and Mutley like best and why?


It was really exciting watching the car go down the ramp and to see what a difference the materials made as to how far it went along our metre ruler.
