In Ms. Pacy's WIN group, we are currently working on engineering some Rube Goldberg machines to go along with our third grade study of forces and interactions. Yesterday, we did some research and watched several videos of different machines online, and then students made a plan to build their own machines. Today, we experimented with materials and tested out our plans! These third graders are continuing to amaze me with their creativity and ideas!
In homeroom science today we were able to make a claim and support it with some evidence we collected from an experiment (using golf balls and ping pong balls) earlier this week. We observed that a heavier object will travel less distance than a lighter object when flicked with the same force. We also observed that the harder an object is flicked (more force) the farther it will travel.
