Whoa! Air Lift! This was the name of our latest science activity. Students used a straw, quart-sized zip lock bag, and heavy book to conduct this experiment. The goal: to figure out HOW compressed air can be used to MOVE things. Ask your child to explain how this works.
The next step suggestion was to try moving something BIGGER using a BIGGER zip-lock bag...maybe gallon sized? or even bigger! See what happens! I look forward to hearing from the kids if they've tried this next step activity. Science is truly FUN!
Next week, we'll be starting our new unit titled, "Motion and Design." Students will create a vehicle that moves. We'll see who can get their unique design to move the farthest. Fun stuff coming up in Science!
