Force and Motion

The science investigations continued today.  We were looking at how the amount of force could change the motion of objects.  Rocket launchers, shuffleboard with lids, and air soccer were the activities we used this morning to investigate force and motion.  We couldn't believe that some of our rockets actually hit the ceiling in the cafeteria.

Force and Motion Investigations


Monday morning kindergarten students rotated through several stations in the cafeteria.
The stations involved investigating the amount of force it takes to move objects of different
weights.  Investigations also involved comparing the distances that different objects can move
when given the same amount of force.  It was a great way to start our Monday morning.
It was amazing to see kindergarten students testing their ideas and coming up with reasons for what happened.  We can't wait to continue with our investigations.

Force and Motion

Investigation #1
Today we introduced the concept of force and motion.  Students had to come up with a plan for how to move a heavy box of blocks to the top of the play structure. They drew their plan before we went outside to investigate. Kindergarten scholars came up with great ideas to test out. A lot of our ideas involved working together to move the box. We also liked the idea of using a rope to help us move it. We learned that we can move things by pushing or pulling them.

Snow Motion

The weather cooperated today and we were able to go skiing and snowboarding at Cochran's. 
The students were thrilled to be on the slopes.  It was a great first day for us.  Thank you to all the volunteers that came to help us get ready and to help us on the slopes.  We appreciate it.  Thank you Mr. Godfrey for arranging Snow Motion.  We love it!
