This week we had Science Alive come and visit us at school! We learned about forces. We cannot see forces but we can see their results. We learnt about pushing, pulling, twisting, gravity, air resistance, friction and magnetism.
"Gravity helps things go down" - Max C
"When you put a tree at the bottom of the ramp the car stops." -Milo
"I enjoyed making the helicopter, playing with the parachutes and playing on the skateboard." - Travis
"I really enjoyed the skateboard, I had to push it." - Sydney
If you would like to have some fun with forces at home too, have a look at these links:
