We have started a new science unit this week. Students are learning about Balance and Motion. This week we discussed balance. For an object to be in a stable position students are learning to give it a little tap. If it falls, the object is not stable. If it wobbles back and forth and returns to its position (without falling) it is considered in a stable position.
Next week, students will recieve contracts in which they need to experiment with "have-to" activities and "choice" activities based on balance. It should be a lot of fun for the students! :)
