Forces of Motion Student Inquiry



What is a force of motion? 
To begin we need to build our knowledge of the different kinds of forces of motion and then take a close look at the many types of simple machines that make it easier for us to push or pull things.
Students independently listened to reading using Pebble Go and an Epic collection.
           

Then they chose books that they wanted to explore further.


Next the students broke into different small groups to begin to see how different simple machines work.

 

The next day we revisited what a force of motion is. 
Then the students chose what kind of simple machine they would like to design. We gave them choices of supplies and let them make their own simple machine.
 



Looking forward to their presentations of their simple machine creations!
