Discovery Dog

9th Nov 2021

After reading the story called Shopping Shambles, we were asked to help Discovery Dog find out which groceries had rolled furthest away. In order to do this we decided to carry out a scientific investigation. We rolled some cylinder shaped groceries down a ramp to see which rolled the furthest, making sure that we carried out a fair test. We wanted to find out if size, length, weight, width or shape made a difference to the result. We discovered that the container of chilli powder rolled the furthest. We decided that this was because this container had the best cylinder shape. We really enjoyed carrying out this investigation.
