Kindergarteners Investigate Forces!

Kindergarten has started their new unit on Pushes and Pulls. They went around the science classroom pushing and pulling objects.  Some objects were harder to move than other objects.  We also discovered that an object can be pushed AND pulled! Just like real scientists, we recorded our discoveries.

During our next investigation, we had a bag of nine objects to explore.  We wanted to have an object exert a force on another object instead of us exerting the force.  Some objects were easier to move than others.  A lot of the kindergarteners figured out how to make a catapult out of the objects....that was fun!
