The year two students have been learning about different forces. Forces can make things move, stop moving or change direction. Recently, we have been learning about how air pushes on things as they move through it. This is called ‘air resistance’. Air resistance pushes against objects to slow them down. We demonstrated how a […]

The year fours have been learning about different forces, like ‘air resistance’. Air Resistance is a type of friction that occurs between air and another material. Air resistance is a force that acts on parachutes to slow a person’s fall to the ground. As the person falls the air pushes up against […]
