Our fourth graders are starting to learn about energy in the physical world, and how it can be found in many forms. In the Science Lab, they roll small cars down ramps of different heights to see how that affects the car’s motion. Then they try to get the car to go around a loop without falling. They quickly learned that the ramp must be steep enough and long enough. Some students decided to connect their loops together, and noticed the differences with a second loop. They learned a lot about kinetic energy, the energy of motion, and cooperating. Check back on this blog to see updates around once a month to see what our students are doing in the Science Lab.
