We let vehicles roll down a ramp and we also used our measuring skills that we have been developing in our maths lessons to see how far the vehicles travelled. We repeated our tests 3 times. We discussed the validity of our results by discussing whether the ramps were the same height and the vehicles were the same. ### Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Friction and Measuring [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/5f9dbeec-eddf-46bb-8b73-a6fb55ac17fc.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/5f9dbeec-eddf-46bb-8b73-a6fb55ac17fc.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/66813091-ce59-4547-822e-e963464977cc.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/66813091-ce59-4547-822e-e963464977cc.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/b7500a74-b120-4c44-8d83-ceae33f1c1cc.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/b7500a74-b120-4c44-8d83-ceae33f1c1cc.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/d4f5bdbe-ddb3-4cb9-b690-b65e895102c4.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/d4f5bdbe-ddb3-4cb9-b690-b65e895102c4.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/edee4c2b-d904-4c5a-9a29-ed3d4774d70e.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/year-3-class-8-science-friction-and-measuring/edee4c2b-d904-4c5a-9a29-ed3d4774d70e.jpeg) [Science](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [ Year 3 (Class 8) - Computing - Hobby Presentations](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2026-03-04-10-48-year-3-class-8-computing-hobby-presentations) [Year 4 (Class 10) - P.E - Clip n Climb Experience ](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2026-03-05-12-36-year-4-class-10-p-e-clip-n-climb-experience) ![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://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/recruitment) - [Contact Us](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/contact) - [Admissions](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/parents/admissions) - [Policies](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [E-Safety](https://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://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
