Forces
Today we continued our discussion on forces. We looked at forces on the playground and started looking at some other ways forces are used in things we enjoy.
Forces Review
Today we started by reviewing what a force is: A force is a push or a pull. When the wind pushes a sailboat through the water, it is exerting a force. When gravity pulls an apple toward the ground , that is a force as well. Forces can make things move, change their speed, or change their shape.
​
We also reviewed the four forces we covered yesterday which were; Gravity, Muscular, Buoyancy, and friction.
Epic Books
Today we read a book on the forces we can find on the playground. Using your Epic books account you can find the book by searching for "Forces" by Andi Diehn
​
Ariko
Today we had the opportunity to join in on the Q&A with the Franco-Ontarian band, Ariko. Students had the opportunity to hear questions answered such as how long they have been playing, what happens if they mess up on stage, what instruments they play, and more.
Touchable Bubbles
Here is a bonus video and activity for the day. I had some touchable bubbles, and though I would explain how they work and why they last longer than normal bubbles.
​
If you want to make your own touchable bubbles here is a link to some fun experiments: https://www.homesciencetools.com/article/how-to-make-super-bubbles-science-project/
I hope you enjoy these activities and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
