Year 3 - Forces and Magnets
Year 3's science topic for this term is forces and magnets. After creating mind maps to think about what questions we had about this area, we then took part in a game of tug of war! We discovered the the team who used the most force (pulling) would win. If we used equal force then the rope did...
