Investigate: How do objects move?
Talk about:
If you want to make an object move, what do you need to do?
If you want to make it move farther, what do you do differently?
Get a box (or another heavy object). Talk about and then try out:
What happens if you push on a box and someone on the other side pushes with the same amount of force? Does the box move? In what direction?
What happens if you push on a box and the person on the other side pushes more than you do? Does the box move? In what direction?
What happens if you push on a box and the person on the other side pushes less than you do? Does the box move? In what direction?
Talk about what will happen when balls of different sizes, weights, and materials collide with (run into) one another. Then try it out!
Did you observe what you thought you would?
How is this like moving the boxes? How is it different?
What new questions do you have?
Remember to record your observations in your moon journal.
