Experimenting with Force

Today in Science we worked in small groups. We were trying to move a wooden block off a piece of paper….but we couldn’t touch the block. We could only use the items that were in the bag. We could use popsicle sticks, elastics, pencils, yarn, paper clips and straws.

Ask your child to tell you about some of the ways that their group completed the task.

We discovered that in order to move the block, we had to apply a force (a push or a pull).
