Balance and Motion

We have spent some time exploring balance and motion and have enjoyed interacting with these concepts. 

We began our unit by asking ourselves what balance is to us. We showed that we have a lot of prior knowledge on this topic and how it relates to our everyday life. 

Through our investigations it our hope to help children develop a curiosity for learning and to have persistence in exploring new ideas and problems. Science is about learning through trial and error. Inquiry work requires a lot of patience and stamina... not easy! 

 We have been working on documenting our work and sharing our findings through discussion. Next we will apply what we have learned through spinners and motion. 

Ask us if we can explain any of these concepts to you!
