Charlotte Hawson House Captains Thomas Sleep Principal Rose Livingston Maia Malycha Students in Prep and Grade One have been learning about how floating and sinking works. If there is more gravity pull on an object in water then it will sink. If there is more upward push of water on an object in water then it will float! Students in Grade 2 explored the transfer of energy by investigating the momentum of a marble rolling down a ramp and transferring that movement to a plastic cup resting on a table. They varied the heights of the ramp to see if this made a difference to the momentum of the marble to the cup. Students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 this week did a self-assessment task on their parachute design. They also started to explore and investigate the term propulsion during flight. They were allowed to use balloons, plastic cups, straws and match-box cars to show their understandings. Irymple South Primary School Newsletter - Issue 16, Week 6, Term 2,
