Science Inquiry

Room 9 has been studying fair testing for science. Our first fair test was water lilies. We put them in water to see how fast or slow they would open their petals. We then made one change to our water lily. We changed the thickness of the paper to see if that had any effect on it.
We also have gone over the process of how to fair test our flying straws. We’ve changed our variables to try to get our straws to fly further. We made our flying straws out of straws and paper rings one bigger than the other. After the changes we made to our straws we noticed that the shorter the straw is the less distance it travels.
