Throughout Term 2, Year 2 investigated push and pull forces. They explored how push and pull forces work in different situations and environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students conducted a number of experiments to support their learning. They launched balloon rockets and cars to learn about push and thrust force. They designed and floated boats to observe how forces move on water and they explored gravity in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the conclusion of the unit, students collaborated with their peers to design, make and play an arcade game incorporating push and pull forces. The students found all the experiments interesting and engaging, but everyone agreed that the arcade games were the highlight of their learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children learned so much about push and pull forces during this unit and they had a lot of fun doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
