2.PS2.2

In the last unit, students explored how shelters help animals survive in their environment. In this unit, students investigate the relationship between forces and motion, building propeller cars to observe action-reaction forces, the relationship between the distance their car travels and the amount of force applied, and how friction affects motion.

In the third and final unit of Kindergarten, students investigate how pushes and pulls are forces that change the motion of an object. They apply their scientific knowledge to design a solution that solves a problem.

In the last unit, students used propeller cars to explore the relationship between forces and motion. In this unit, students continue to explore vehicles with a focus on boats and specifically the science phenomena of properties that cause objects such as boats to float or sink.
