In science, we've been doing several activities that improve our knowledge and understanding of motion. We began by making spinners using plastic discs and axles. We learned words like rotation and axis and our spinners showed us how things in motion are more stable the faster they go. Once we learned about how things rotate, we made twirlers. We needed to think about how the position of the wings effected the the twirler's ability to float or rotate slowly or fast.
Finally, we made zoomers which taught us about the push and pull of motion. "The motion of an object can be changed by pushing or pulling" the object. We needed time and patience to get our zoomers going but once we did, we enjoyed watching them spin. ZOOM on!!!!
