Balance and Motion

In science we are getting to experiment with balance and motion.  The students are learning about important concepts while building and testing toys ... pretty much a win, win for everyone!

Some of the things that we learned are: 

 How to balance an object using counterweights.

 

 

How to create an object that will rotate quickly and for a long time:

How to keep an object in  motion using push and pull:

And how to use air pressure as a force to make an object spin.

As you can see - we have learned a lot about balance and motion.  Be sure to talk with me about it at home to see what I can teach YOU!
