May the Force Be With You!

A force is a push or a pull.  Did you know that an object at rest will remain at rest until a force acts upon it?  This week we experimented with how to apply force to a mass by pushing and pulling our friends on the swings.  One student was the recorder who told the force what to do with the "mass" that sat on the swing.

Cora records how Missy starts moving Derrick.

Ryan watches as Dylan makes Aesha go faster.

Kevin practices changing Pedro's direction.

Dylan draws a diagram to show how Aesha is slowing down Ryan's movement.

Pedro videos Erin stopping Kevin's motion.

Shira explains the directions to Nolan and Alexis.

The 207ers did an amazing job demonstrating force and motion this week!
