Kindergarten students are engineers! Our current unit is called "Structure and Function: Pushes and Pulls." Students will explore the world of physical science. Our real world problem is centered around Suzi, Mylo, and Angelina, three fictional characters that need to move rocks away from a grassy area to make room for a swing set. Can we help them? Absolutely!
We will learn about and define the words push, pull, and collision in order to develop ideas to help solve the problem. Students will explore with and analyze a variety of pushes and pulls so that eventually, they can create a model to move the rocks up a ramp!
Check out some photos from our push and pull hunt! Students utilized iPads to take photos and label pushes and pulls they found in their classrooms. We discovered that pushes and pulls are truly EVERYWHERE!
