Learning about forces and motion will help students understand the world around them and how things work. This week, we will explore forces, or pushes and pulls, and how they can change the way something moves. We'll also learn about position, and how motion is a change of position. Students will go on a scavenger hunt to discover some things that they need to push or pull to move. They will also learn that more force is needed to move objects with a greater mass. Finally, they will experiment with friction, a force that acts in the opposite direction of motion to slow down moving things. Ask your child to tell you why an icy road is slippery, and why it is harder to skate on grass than on concrete. Here's to a smooth week before TN Ready! :-)
