A great investigation to practise instruction following and result recording. Children have to make up different concentrations of sugar solution and time how long they take to run down a slope. There is space to tick off instructions as you go through the activity and space to record results.
Surface area and floating experiment for  primary science.

Surface area and floating experiment for primary science.

(0)
A free printable worksheet for this really simple science experiment to show how surface area affects floating. Perfect for looking at materials, if you are doing stand alone working scientifically investigations or for something easy to keep up your sleeve when you need to kill 10 minutes! THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE EXPERIMENT The science behind the experiment is that as you give your animal bigger feet, you are increasing the surface area that the weight of the animal can be spread over and it can float upright. When it has tiny feet, all the weight is on that very small area so it is too unstable and falls over. TURN IT INTO AN INVESTIGATION There are lots of ways to turn this experiment into an investigation: Increase the size of the feet by a tiny amount each time, how big do they have to be for the dinosaur to start floating? Does the shape of the animal affect how big the feet have to be? This is also a great opportunity to think about fair testing. It’s important that the same amount of paper is used even if it’s in a different shape. Doing the experiment with different materials. How does the size of the animal affect the size of feet needed?

Investigate the effect of gravity with this easy experiment to add fun to your science lessons without lots of planning or resources. This is a great way of looking at gravity in a slightly different way. We are used to thinking about gravity making things fall, but this experiment shows us how we can use what we know about gravity to make things STOP falling over too. This pack contains a practical sheet to laminate a use with your class, a teacher tips sheet with helpful tips, extended background information, ideas for extending the activity and risk assessment. There is also a link to our blog for an electronic version of the experiment. Curriculum links: KS1, Lower and Upper KS2 - Working scientifically Year 5 Forces
