These primary activities are linked to the science Curriculum and great to try in the classroom (some outside) or at home to help to understand the science involved in Bloodhound LSR. Some require additional resources. Many just need imagination and curiosity. Simply click on the picture or title and run the BBC Learning Zone video. Have fun!
Investigate friction as you try to separate interleaved books and spin objects to discover the effects of forces.
Investigate rockets, using water pressure rockets to find out how rockets travel and to see how you can make you rocket travel the furthest.
Measuring Drag ExperimentInvestigate ways in which you can change the shape of an object to make it move more quickly and with greater stability through water. This helps to understand how shape matters for Bloodhound.
Investigate their reaction times versus level of distraction.
Investigate ways in which you can change the shape of a parachute in order to carry an egg to the ground safely.
Investigate ways in which energy can be applied to vehicles in order to make them move efficiently.
