Science in P3 – Forces

Today we brought in some toys from home to explore the force we used when playing with them. We sorted them into push, pull or both toys then investigated how we could make them move quicker/slower/further away or in a different direction by changing the amount of force we applied to the toy. We finished off the afternoon by playing with play-doh and making examples of push and pull forces in everyday life. Next week we will be learning about the ‘twist’ force and be introduced to what ‘friction’ is.
