Science News
Unit 2: Force & Motion
This week we start our next unit, Force & Motion. This is a very long
unit (over 20 weeks) and covers simple machines, magnetism, electrical
circuits, flight and friction & gravity. Materials have arrived, so we will
dig right in studying the topics of force, motion, gravity and friction. This
unit has lots of hands on activities and should be a lot of fun, but we will
be exploring some important science concepts. Be sure to ask your child
about Activity 1, because I assure you they will be excited about it.
