Balance and Motion

We started a new science unit this week in room 12.  We are discussing Balance and Motion.  I have broken this into two sections.  This week students will explore balance through a variety of have-to's and choices within their learning contracts.  So far it has been a lot of fun for the students to learn through exploration.
