Year 2
As part of our work on Kenya we looked at forces in the story of Handa's Surprise and carried out some fair test investigations.
Handa is a young Kenyan girl who decides to take a basket of seven delicious fruits to her friend Akeyo.

If Handa fell over, which fruit do you think would roll the furthest?
Noah
We used string to create a graph to show how far the fruits from Handa's basket rolled.
Millie
(The fruit goes down because gravity pulls them down)
We went outside to investigate how different surfaces would affect the distance the fruit would roll.
Annelise
We also investigated whether the height of the basket made a difference to how far the fruit would roll.
Lydia
We used books to make a ramp.
We recorded our results in a table and went to the ICT suite to make a block graph.
