Grade 3 students embarked on an exciting provocation as they delved into the fascinating world of forces and interactions!
This upcoming unit under the theme, "How the World Works," introduces us to the wonders of science and the mechanisms that shape our everyday lives. To kickstart this exploration, The Bay campus was fortunate to partner up with Mr. Barth from Net Valley who provided us with engaging materials to stimulate our thinking about forces and interactions.
The Net Valley campus generously provided us with a range of materials designed to spark our interest in forces and interactions. These materials included objects such as magnets, pulleys, ramps, and even simple machines like levers and gears. As we explored and interacted with these hands-on resources, we were encouraged to observe, question, and make connections to the world around us.
Students were able to experiment with magnets and discover their ability to attract or repel certain materials. We explored how pulleys could make lifting heavy objects easier, and we observed how ramps allowed us to move objects up or down with less effort. Through engaging with these materials, we began to recognize the presence of forces and how they influence our daily lives.
While working with the provided materials, we were encouraged to make connections between our experiences and real-world applications. We discussed how forces are present in activities like pushing a swing, riding a bicycle, or even opening a door. We also explored how forces can cause objects to move, change shape, or interact with one another. These connections helped us develop a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of forces and interactions.
Thank you, Mr. Barth!
