In groups, the children made 2 different objects out of play dough - one which they thought would have more water resistance and one which they thought would have less water resistance against it. We used stop watches to time their results. Next, they used their results to inform, their ideas on making a boat, which they believed would move fastest through the water. ### Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Water Resistance [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image0.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image0.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image2.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image3.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image3.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image4.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image4.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image5.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image5.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image6.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image6.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image7.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image7.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image8.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-6-class-16-science-water-resistance-1/image8.jpeg) [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/GtxmbQfhGSY?rel=0) [Science](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [ Year 6 (Class 16) - Oracy / PSHE - Homelessness](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-12-04-09-04-year-6-class-16-oracy-pshe-homelessness) [Year 5 (Class 12) - Science - Forces and Friction ](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2025-12-05-09-33-year-5-class-12-science-forces-and-friction) ![St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/logo/StBartsLogo.png) ### St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School Strawberry Lane Tong Road Armley West Yorkshire LS12 1SF 0113 263 9292 ### Useful Links - [Recruitment](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/recruitment) - [Contact Us](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/contact) - [Admissions](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/parents/admissions) - [Policies](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [E-Safety](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/safeguarding/online-safety) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StBartsLeeds) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stbartsarmley/) © Copyright 2017–2026 St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
