Today was Wonder Wednesday, which usually means we formulate questions on a specific topic, then learn a bit about the topic. Today we mixed things up a bit and explored one, pre-selected, question "does an object move differently on different types of surfaces". The first activity was to try sliding a beanbag on various surfaces, each with different textures. Once this was done we gathered together to share our observations. Next we explored the effects of wind resistance on a light scarf. We noticed the different paths a scarf may travel as it drifts down to the ground and we tried to slow the scarf's fall by increasing the wind resistance. Lastly we discussed different types of forces that can be applied to move an object such as pull, push, shove, drop, kick, throw, etc. It was a wonderful afternoon of wondering, answering and learning!
