Objects in Motion

Movement......such a simple idea, right? Not exactly. Students have discovered many things can effect how an object moves.  We investigated and observed speed, velocity, force, push, pull, gravity, and acceleration. 

One of our favorite investigations exploring these ideas was our Wind Roller activity.  Students made a wind roller and we observed how the wind can impact the motion and the speed of an object.  Each student used a meter stick to measure the distance their wind roller went and compared them with the distances of other students.

This was a great learning experience and we were glad we had a breezy day!
