Then I started posing questions to them while they played and they would present what they found out to the class. Then I started thinking about how I could incorporate force and motion into other areas of their play such as clay (push and pull to make sculptures), painting (pushing and pulling the brush, we asked why everything would go down a ramp and not up? (gravity). How could we make something go up a ramp (more force)? What could they do to make their object roll further? It was mostly posing questions in different areas of their play and then discovering the answers together as we explored. Then the kids got to show what they learned by showing the class. I hope this helps! This is always a fun inquiry and can lead into other areas such as Simple machines. Good luck!Mrs Myers Inquiring Mindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280387662860144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492136136099278542.post-89247615671250089932016-01-26T13:02:35.394-05:002016-01-26T13:02:35.394-05:00How did you introduce your lesson on ramps?
