Forces and Motion

Dear Parents,

In Science we are working on a Unit called FORCES and MOTION. This is a really fun unit where the kids try different experiments to see how force and motion really works. The first thing we did was review vocabulary words such as: force, motion, gravity, repel, attract.. then we discussed what force means and what motion means. 

The first activity was very simple.. all the kids had to do was jump up and down. They were the ones to do all the motions... the next experiment was to split up into two groups. One group had to make paper airplanes, and throw them in the air. Their force made the airplane have motion. They had an awesome time doing this. The other group blew on cut up pieces of paper. The force of the air coming from their mouth made the paper have motion. The harder the blew the farther the paper moved.
