We have been learning that all motion is either caused by pushing or pulling. We collected a range of objects and predicted if they used the push force , pull force or both.

We used force and motion to create a collaborative piece of art. First, we pushed and pulled paintbrushes to mix a background colour.

We know that friction is a force that acts in the opposite direction to motion. Friction causes moving objects to slow down. We rolled cars through the paint and onto our background. The tracks showed motion. We observed how long it took the cars to stop.

The force of gravity will pull things down. We dipped paintbrushes into paint and held them up high to observe the paint drop from the brush and onto our background.
