P7 learned about the Finneston Crane as part of their Glasgow topic. They brought in materials so they could recreate the structure. Here are photos from during the session and the complete masterpieces.

The children in Primary 2/3 over the next few weeks will be investigating forces and friction through play and experiments.

“Pushing is a force.” Flynn

“Pull is a force.” Lilly D

“Squashing is a force.” Ryan

“The parachute was the friction on the game on the computer because all the air was going into the parachute and it was slowing down the car.” Martyn

“If the car goes faster and it gets a big parachute attached the car will go slower.” Nikolay
