Unpacking the Inquiry

This past few weeks we have been unpacking the inquiry and have been exploring forces in and around the classroom. We especially looked at push and pull forces and did some exploration on the playgrounds and on the field.

Below we are exploring ways to move things in the classroom using either push or pull forces. Jay-Lee brought a syringe and showed us how when we drink medicine there is both a pull a push forced used. 

 Below we are trying to get a crate up the slide without carrying it up. We also explored how we get up the slide and how we use push and pull forces on the swings. 

 We also explored how we use push and pull forces on other playgrounds.

 Below Logan and Neil (EY3DC) shared some ways we use push and pull forces with our toys and some gym equipment at home. 

 We also had some fun using our pulling forces by having tug -of - war with the other class, the teachers and against each other.
