Science

Science - investigating how the incline of a ramp affected an object being pulled up and investigating gears and pulleys.

In science, we were investigating which objects were the hardest, out of a given selection. We then investigated further, using a scratch test, looking at the scratch through magnifying glasses to decide if it was deep or shallow, long or short, and then whether this meant soft or hard. Some of our initial ideas changed as a result. For example, a candle was thought to be hard as it was difficult to snap, but the scratch test suggested that it was also soft as the scratch was long and deep, with shavings coming off.
