LER 2822.
Various activities lead students to explore the concepts of force and motion.
Force and motion is all around you: at the bowling alley as you roll a ball down the lane, on the playground while swinging and sliding, or in the car while driving to a friend's house. Force and motion units are commonly taught in early school years as a way for children to explore how and why objects move. With this STEM set, children will discover several force and motion concepts through fun, hands-on experiments, such as push-pull (does pushing or pulling the pendulum create more force?), objects in motion (will the cars change direction upon colliding?), the effects of friction and weight in movement (can a car move faster on a bumpy or a smooth road?) and more!
This activity set includes real science concepts and support materials for you, paired with interesting pieces (including cars, roadway pieces, and a wrecking-ball-inspired pendulum) and activities to spark children's imaginations and stimulate their curiosity. Each activity has been teacher-tested and child-approved to ensure broad appeal and ease of use. Aspects of the scientific method are included for your early learner "scientists." Incorporate the activities as an introduction to STEM or as a follow up, to support an reinforce learning. Extended connection ideas further challenge children, encouraging them to become logical thinkers and fostering self-reliance. Let's get started!
