Pushes and Pulls!
Force : push or pull that makes something move. Or stops something from moving too.

Push : is a force moving an object away.
ie: closing the door.
Pull : a force that moves an object closer.
ie: Pulling a wagon.
Motion : action or process of moving or being moved.
ie: rolling down the slide
How can you use force in your life?

"Would it be easier to push a bike up a hill or push a car up a hill?"
Syzer "The bike. Because the bike you can pick up but a car you cant pick up."
Grace "A bike. Because it weighs more less than a car."
"Would it be easier to go shopping without the shopping cart and carrying all the things or would it be easier to use a shopping cart and put thing in the cart.
Corrina "use the cart because you might drop something.
Kora "I think it would be to use a shopping cart so that things wouldn't fall and get dirty so you would have to pay more.
William "use a shopping cart so that things don't break."
Evelyn "A cart is easier. Because if you carry it would make it harder and it would make it longer in the store."
"Do you think it would be easier to paddle a canoe full of feathers or a canoe full of bricks?"
Davern "Feathers because bricks weigh more and canoes are stronger."
Charley "Feathers because they don't weigh as much and are softer."
Syzer "Feathers."
Science Experiment......
Today we used a block and a piece of sand paper.
"What did you notice about your block and how it move without sandpaper?"
Syzer "It slid fast."
Davern "Really good and about 10 inches."
William "It went a little bit slower."
Corrina "it moved about 16'"
Charley "it went about 1 foot."
"What did you notice with sandpaper on the rug."
Mila "It didn't move at all."
"What did you notice with the sandpaper block on the table."
Sydney "it moved about 2 inches."
What did you notice with the sandpaper block on the tile."
Kora "It went slow, maybe 5 or 4 inches."
As Scientists we used the sandpaper and we noticed that it made it harder for the block to move. Without the sandpaper we saw that the block moved faster.
