    The document describes an experiment to test how the shape of blu-tac or plasticine affects the speed at which it falls through water by dropping balls of different shapes into containers of water, wallpaper paste, and an empty container, measuring the time it takes to fall using a clock or timer, changing the shape but keeping other variables the same like the containers and dropping method.

    Why is it hard work to

    walk through water?


    Why are fish
    the shape
    they are?
    Why are boats
    and ships the
    shape they
    are?
    The man is
    pulling the oar
    to push the boat
    forwards.

    The boat is
    moving forwards
    The water feels as if in this direction.
    it is pushing you
    back. This is water
    resistance.
    What would happen if I dropped a ball of
    Blu-tac into these three containers?

    Empty Water Wallpaper Paste


    I want to create a fair test
    using this equipment to
    find out if the shape of
    the blu-tac makes a
    Container of water difference to the speed at
    which it falls through the
    water.

    Clock or timer

    Blu-tac or plasticine
