Hello Parents,
We have just finished up our tasting experiments here at school. A surprise favorite for the tate test on Friday was the hot sauce. More than a few students said that it was spicy, but was also very good!
For the next several weeks we will be reviewing simple machines.
Here are the simple machines that we will explore:
1. wheels and axels
2. inclined planes
3. pulleys
4. screws
5. levers
We will read books about each simple machine and do at least one experiment with each one. An experiment that we did with wheels and axels was to try and push a classmate across the floor. We dicussed why this was hard to do. We talked about how both friction and gravity made it hard to move a student across the floor. We then put a friend on a four-wheeled scooter and pushed again. After that we learned how the scooter reduced the friction making it easier to move the load across the carpet.
If you have any questions about science feel free to email me here at school.
Have a Great day,
Mr. Lucas
We did hear that the class was going over simple machines but missed hearing all about the cool experiment..
