8YO: Forces and Motion

This week the 8YOs are learning about forces and motion. We investigated how we could make a folded piece of cardboard jump high in the air, propelled by the pulling force of a rubber band. We identified that the rubber band was pulling the cardboard back together when we let go of the cardboard pieces. We learned that the two major forces are pushes and pulls. We're excited to see what else we can learn about forces during this unit!
