Force and Motion experiment number 1:  making hoppers to test out force theories

Two roles:  mission contol and launch master - students worked with science partners to make launchers and see how high they would go!

We had to revise our oak tag hoppers and make new ones with light cardboard to get better lift off!

SNOW FUN!

Our second Mystery Science experiment was building a paper bridge to hold pennies.

Sample bridge design

This group has designed and tested their first paper bridge to see how many pennies it can hold.

Lots of teamwork and creativity went into planning and making the bridges!


This group tried for an arch bridge design

Putting the pennies on to test it out!





On Friday our third Mystery Science was all about magnets and how they work.

Students had two magnets and a variety of materials to explore with.

Groups talked and processed their results as they tried different things with their magnets.

Magnet fun!
