Exploring Physics Class Summary 2/17/14

with Sally Zeiner

Physics...It's in their nature!

These students are natural scientists! They love experimenting and recording the results. You can see that our physics class got a lot of work done this week - work squeezing marshmallows and bananas. Did you know the more an object changes shape the more work has been done? We used the energy from our bodies to exert force on the banana and marshmallow and get that work done.

Next week...

During the week the students should experiment on a few other objects and record their results. We will continue to explore force and work next week in class. Please send in something to squeeze next week, and a pair of pliers if you have them!
