Force and Motion


What makes science even more fun? Exercising and playing while we learn! For our forces and motion unit, we went outside to hoola hoop! While we were hoola hooping, we experimented to see if we needed to push or pull the hoola hoop to get started. We also experimented to see if we needed more force or less force when we tried to hoola hoop with several hoops at one time instead of just one. We found out that we needed WAY more force each time we added another hoola hoop and that we needed to push the hoop to start the motion, not pull. We even tried hoola hooping with our arms and legs and discovered how the force was different when we threw the hoola hoop. It was so much fun!
