Jenga according to 6W

Well...we have achieved the impossible!
A Jenga game so difficult you can't even build the tower to start the game!

ICE - NOT the best material to build a jenga tower out of!

The girls of 6W struggling with the ice.
"The ice was difficult to use because the ice creates little friction and it was also on a slippery surface, Jenga needs a rougher surface than ice if you want it to work!"
Zainub and Vim

Here are some of our initial observations:

"The easiest had to be card, the hardest was cotton wool. It was quite hard with the wool because it kept getting stuck whereas then card came out very easily." Cara


"Today we tested friction by creating our own Jenga game.
The most difficult was the game made of ice. This was the hardest because of the low levels of friction. Normally that would make the game easier but in this case there wasn’t enough friction and it was almost impossible to make." Dan E



We're still looking over our results, so will be back soon with more of our discoveries.

Happy Thursdays!

I honestly thought that the ice would stick together. I know it does sometimes so why didn't it happen today. Great Blogging Year 6

I thought Miss Willis was just cutting up tea towels because she had nothing better to do - little did I know it would lead to such an interesting experiment!
