Forces in Motion







 We kicked off our unit on Forces in Motion with a song that the kids loved! We learned the vocabulary and explored motion with fun experiments.

 
We were learning about friction here. Which car won? The car on the construction paper ramp or the car on the sandpaper ramp.



Everyone got a chance to race a car. :)


Then we had Motion Mania today with bubbles, cars, a giant pinwheel, bouncy balls, marbles, and a bay blade (I have no idea if that is how you spell that, but it was the closest thing to a top).












 Wow! That pinwheel sure moved faster with the fan!

motion mania

We were experimenting with motion today. Learning that the marble goes faster going down a higher point, than a lower point.
