Our third graders are loving learning fun things in Science with our "Force affects motion" unit! We loved exploring non-contact forces-(static and magnetic). We had so much fun applying our knowledge about these forces with soda can races! Each pair of students charged their balloons with static electricity by rubbing them on their heads, and then pushed or pulled their cans with their balloons. Pairs worked hard to get their soda cans to roll across the table or carpet and then we competed in soda can races! We love Science!
