JAN. 6TH-24TH FORCE AND MOTION—BALANCED AND UNBALANCED FORCES

Back from a much-needed rest and ready to explore the science of forces and motion (physics)! We will begin our investigations by understanding the two basic types of energy–potential and kinetic. Our labs will involve identifying and describing not only PE/KE but how motion relates to Newton’s three laws. By understanding and applying Newton’s laws we can unlock many mysteries and misunderstandings why things move.

Check in from time to time for updates and videos concerning lab investigations.

Here are a few ideas concerning the woodpecker toy lab.

What about that conservation of energy lab? You know…dropping a ping pong ball on top of a golf ball!

Astronaut Joe Acaba will teach you what you need to know about potential and kinetic energy!
