Putty, Velocity, and Water Resistance

Always experimenting, Y4M got immersed in the concepts of water resistance and velocity. Using some incredibly creative and sophisticated designs, students were able to successfully determine the impact of drag in an aquatic setting. While not without a few minor spills and plenty of thrills, this experiment was a emphatic success!

Water Resistance, Surface Area, and Flotation

This week in science class, we discovered the importance of  water resistance, surface area, and flotation. Using clay and paper clips, the class was able to experiment how having a greater surface area allows objects to float and hold more weight while in water. While not without a few spills and splashes, this experiment was a complete success!
