Year 5 students have been working collaboratively to investigate the relationship between mass and weight, building on their understanding of Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity. They selected a range of classroom objects and used Newton meters to measure their weight, carefully recording their findings. The investigation sparked an engaging class discussion as the children identified a fascinating pattern: gravity exerts a downward force of approximately 1 Newton for every 100g of mass. The investigation brought their learning to life through practical, hands-on science.
