2020/21 Lesson 7: Force and Motion

 Lesson:

We had fun learning about force and motion. Objects move when force is applied to them. Pushing, pulling, stretching, tearing, and twisting are all examples of forces. The more force that is applied to an object, the more the object moves. 

Simple machines have been created that apply the rules of motion. These simple machines help us accomplish tasks easier. They may help us move heavy objects with ease.

Examples of simple machines include: pulleys, levers, wedges, wheel and axles, inclined planes, and screws.


Experiment: 

Cotton Ball Launcher!

We had a lot of fun applying the knowledge of force and motion with simple machines while we built cotton ball launchers out of toilet paper rolls!

Here is a link if you'd like to create a new launcher!
