We are learning about force and motion in science. We have looked at all kinds of big machines that help us do jobs. We’ve also been building ‘machines’ (like the pinwheel and roto-copters) that explore force and motion.
Below are some links to some videos we’ve watched to learn about some of those big machines. These videos were provided by Mystery Science–we love the fun lessons with them we do every Friday. (Tomorrow we are building a ‘wrecking ball’ to knock over a ‘cup’ wall!)
Today was our second visit to the construction site. On Tuesday we watched an excavator fill 2 dump trucks with dirt. This morning at the site, the workers were pouring cement. When they had a break between trucks, they came to ask us our initials to put in the cement!! So exciting. If you have a chance in the next 2-3 weeks stop by the site and see if you can see them. (they will be covered up after that)
What a fun time!!
I wonder what we will see next…
Here we are checking out the machines at work. So exciting!!
