This week we started our science unit on motion. We discussed pushes and pulls and how they have been all around us without us even realizing it! We explored motion, distance and speed. We wrote new words for our work wall to include: motion, speed, position, push, pull, and friction. We also completed a sort of pictures of everyday activities and glued them under PUSH and PULL headings; this brought up the realization that some things are pushed and pulled. To wrap up the first day of motion exploration we pushed toy cars, rolled Ping-Pong balls, and pulled on springs for authentic exploration (this helped us to see friction in action, which is a very abstract concept). What a fun day!
