Statistical Investigation Plan

10. When Mrs Elley ordered the furniture for the new Year 7 & 8 department at Hornby High School in 2014, she ordered a range of different types so that students could choose tables and seating that they were most comfortable at for learning.  So me people like to stand at the big tables, others are more comfortable on the floor.  With our rebuild there is going to be a need for more new furniture.  This time she would like student opinion on the types of furniture preferred by Year 7 and 8 students for learning.

• Why did you pick this?

• What kind of chair do you normally sit on?

• What make your learning inporve ?

The Physics Of Car Racing

1.What has been done to make this a 'fair test'

• They all have to drive forward.
• We all have a selection of choice of what materials we want on the car.
• All the cars are the exact same.

2.What forces are needed to make the car go faster and how have you modified your car accordingly?
Gravity and thrust are the forces of the car to make it accelerate to the green line.The lift makes it stay on the ground so it doesn't flip of go off the track.  


3.What forces are needed to make the car stop and what adjustments have you made to try and stop it by the line?
Gravity and drag.We have added more weight onto the back which the gravity keeps it down.The car and the wheels front and back drag makes it go slower.

4.What forces are needed to make the car travel further and what adjustments have you made to achieve this?
We need thrust,gravity and lift to make it go further the thrust helps by pushing it down all the way to the end of the track.

LO: We are learning to run a profitable business.

What game did you play?
