Force and Motion, and Things That Move...
Ready, Set, Go!
These questions (and more) will be explored through the force and motion unit. We will investigate how transportation systems and devices operate, and how forces like thrust, gravity, drag, friction, and acceleration impact the change on objects.
As we learn about motion and transportation through researching and experimenting, we will discover ways to create safer forms of transportation in our community.
