How Fast Will They Pass!

2011-07-14T13:15:00.002+12:00

Nelson Central held a science fair on Thursday 7th July and room 6 displayed our project with the rest if the junior school. Our Aim was to find out which sail car design would travel the fastest over 2 metres. We used the fair test method to carry out our investigation. Blake and Liam had the fastest time with 3 and a half seconds! We kept the same sail, hair dryer, area which the cars travelled over and had 2 time keepers to make sure the time was accruate. We had lots of fun designing and making the cars.

We have been to the Suter again working on a fantastic installation called Paopao ki tua o Rangi by Ngaahina Hohaia.
