We had another busy week in Miss Brooke's class!! We finished our "Let's Investigate" Unit by learning about how we make things move. We have done lots of hands on activities this week. We raced cars. We ramped them! We learned if friction slowed them down or made them faster. We used motion to make art & make paper "caterpillars" move. We moved things with catapults and pulleys, and ended our week with a cool obstacle course and some fun Groundhog's Day activities.! Keep it going at home by asking your students "how can we make things go"?
