We explored force and motion yesterday. Each team had a 2 liter bottle and a 6oz cup. They had to figure out how to get the cup to move the farthest without touching the cups with their hands or with the bottle. What a fun (and loud) activity! We got a little visit from the AP but she was awesome about the kids having fun and learning. :) The kids determined that squeezing the bottle with their hands wasn't enough force to shoot the cup across the room so they began to stomp the bottle. This worked! Force and motion!
Pictures didn't come out too well because I was busy timing them!
You can see Ryan blowing up the bottle again (after stomping it flat) so he can stomp it! Smart kid!
After this, we categorized different objects (making a Venn diagram out of Hula Hoops) and determined whether they required a push or pull to function. Don't judge our dirty carpet - it was the end of the day. :)
