House of Science - Pūtaiao Lab
The last topic for the term is called “May the Force be with you!” No it’s not to do with Star Wars. We are looking at Force. Things can’t start moving, stop moving, or change direction all by themselves.
The children are learning about Push and Pull forces and Friction and Gravity through some very fun activities. The children enjoyed a good old tug of war to show the Pull Force and how the outcome can change when the mass at the end of the rope increases at one end.
