Motion & Design

Our 2nd science unit is a study of Motion & Design. 

We started our unit with a study of Simple Machines.

Ask your child the following questions:

-What's the purpose of a machine?

-What is work? Force? Distance? Balanced & unbalanced forces?

-Name the 6 simple machines & examples of each. 

-What is a load?

-How does a fulcrum make a different with lifting a load? 

-How can they lift Mrs. Pape with a board and a rock? 

Soon, we'll be building "cars" & learning more about the above concepts and add: friction, momentum, velocity. . .
