1C -Gardam

In 1C our latest inquiry has a science lense focusing on the forces of push and pull. Students have been finding push and pull forces in their daily lives, being scientists who test how to push or pull with greater affect, exploring machines that assist to push or pull and playing with things that use push or pull. Our aim is to combine the different elements together for the students to produce a collaborative Rube Goldberg machine to demonstrate their understanding of push and pull. To support this exploration, students have been building their vocabulary to describe and explain the movements and directions, practicing documenting their predictions, understandings, trials and errors and taking on different roles in their learning to allow everyone the chance to try their ideas, write their thinking and record the actions being taken.
